The Boy with Green Hair
(1948)
Country: USA
Genre: Drama
Synopsis
Peter Frye, typical American boy, is orphaned when his parents are caught in the London Blitz. He is not told of their fate, but shuttled from one selfish relative to the next, ending with "Gramp," a kindly ex-vaudevillean. Peter and Gramp, both fond of "Irish bulls," get along fine; but the morning after Peter finally learns he's an orphan, his hair spontaneously turns green! The absurd over-reactions of stupid people overturn his life as the story becomes a parable.

8 / 10 Oh who is that young sinner...? It's Dean Stockwell, armed with his Cupid's bow and carrying with an excellent performance this earnest, absorbing parable whose origins in horror at the horrors of the Second World War are stamped all over it. White God is much better, though.
