Description
In Albert Lamorisse’s bittersweet The Red Balloon, a lonely youngster (played by the son of the director) finds his ideal playmate in a frisky and lively inflated toy. In Little Fugitive, seven-year-old Joey (Richie Andrusco), tricked into thinking he’s hurt his older brother, flees to Coney Island for a day’s worth of adventures. These two cinematic essentials for audiences of all ages each showcase a number of authentic locations in Paris and NYC.
