But inside the cool tones ipf grey and green and the cheerfulness of red upholstery, with dark red wall-to-wall carpeting, welcome patrons to the comfort of new seating spaced for relaxed viewing.

One movie like this can do more to sell the American way of life abroad than almost any other means. "Little Fugitive" belongs to the people. It is the first and only American movie in the style of "The Bicycle Thief," for simplicity and veracity.
