Synopsis
Tricked into believing he killed his older brother, seven-year-old Joey flees to Coney Island and finds refuge in boardwalk delights, cotton candy, and pony rides. With a 35mm camera strapped to his body, Morris Engel captures the world as a big adventure through the eyes of the boy. A coming-of-age classic and favorite of François Truffaut and Wes Anderson, this winning little picture from photographers Engel, Ruth Orkin, and Ray Ashley went on to win the Silver Lion at the Venice Film Festival and play nearly 5,000 theaters in its US theatrical run.
