Eyewitness (1970)

A hard-hitting conspiracy thriller from cult director John Hough, Eyewitness features a powerful screenplay from Oscar-winning writer Ronald Harwood and an uncredited Bryan Forbes. Mark Lester stars alongside Lionel Jeffries and Susan George in this rarely-seen drama that is presented here as a restoration from original film elements in its original theatrical aspect ratio. Eleven-year-old Ziggy, a bored fantasist, makes up far-fetched stories to pass the time on his Mediterranean island home. When he witnesses the assassination of a visiting president, no-one believes him apart from the assassin, who is determined to silence the young boy permanently!
