This heartwrenching drama, made in 1950, is as fresh today as it was 52 years ago. For ONCE the kids and the adults are'nt treated like morons, and the message is quite evidentally clear.
The acting here is first rate, the cinematography and lighting are quite incredible, especially for a social film. Music is powerful and yet not overbearing. Not 100% free in questionable behaviour though, as the scene with the psychiatrist letting Tommy play with a toy arrow gun is a bit troubling, but other then that, a truly memorable achievement. Highly reccomended!
