User review:

A brilliant masterful one of a kind film. Morris Engel’s beautiful photography and Ruth Orkin’s talented editing take this film to heights rarely seen. An innovative camera allows for a `documentary/candid’ quality to this film about a 6 year old boy (Richie Andrusco) who runs away to Coney Island because he thinks he accidentally killed his brother. Beautifully composed shots under the boardwalk a images never to be forgotten. For any serious film student (in fact for anyone) this is a `must see’.
