    The Little Fugitive by Morris Engel and Ray Ashley (1953, 80 min). Seven-year-old Joey is tricked into thinking that he killed his older brother, Lennie. Joey runs away from his Brooklyn neighborhood to take refuge in Coney Island, where he spends his days collecting deposits for bottles, going on the rides, and sleeping under the boardwalk. A ride operator tricks Joey into giving him his address, and the proprietor calls his home and alerts Lennie, who comes and searches for his little brother. Critically acclaimed, the film became a major influence on the French New Wave, and François Truffaut cited it as his inspiration for The 400 Blows. Nominated at the Academy Awards in 1954 (Best Writing, Motion Picture Story), and received the Silver Lion from the Venice Film Festival in 1953.
