FILM 1386: THE WINDOW
TRIVIA: This film was shot in the
latter part of 1947 but shelved by RKO boss Howard Hughes and released
in 1949. When Bobby
Driscoll got his juvenile Oscar in 1950 he was 13 years old.
In the 1950 Academy Awards, Bobby Driscoll won the
Oscar for the most outstanding juvenile actor of 1949, in response to his work
in this film as well as Disney's tearjerker, So Dear to My Heart
(1948). The award was not given every year, but only when exceptional acting
was performed by a child.
Director Richard Franklin wanted to
do a "thriller for kids" in 1984 and intended to do a remake of
"The Window," which Universal had acquired the rights to. However,
the writers soon morphed the story into what became "Cloak and
Dagger."
