Rating:  - Eyewitness-A Must See Movie!
Eyewitness is an engaging movie about a boy with an extremely active imagination, as well as a penchant for telling tall tales. When the boy, Ziggy,(Mark Lester) actually witnesses a political assassination (and the assassins) no one believes his claims. The movie is a thrilling story of pursuit and eventual vindication. Eyewitness is a tightly written story, beautifully photographed, with touches of humor sprinkled throughout. Thoroughly entertaining, Eyewitness is a very enjoyable viewing experience.
Rating:  - Eye Witness - English Review.
I first saw "Eyewitness" at the cinema here in England back in 1970 when it was first released, and that was the last I saw of it! It has never been shown on TV here and never been released on video or DVD. The only reason can be is that it falls between two stools - that of a family adventure and a violent action thriller. A daydreaming boy witnesses a murder, is not believed and then is pursued by the assassins, simple story; but here it has the bonus of the island of Malta as it's colourful location, ... Read More
Rating: - Excellent "boy who cried wolf" thriller!
Superbly crafted; very well acted and edited action thriller directed by John Hough; filmed in the summer of 1969 on the picturesque Mediterranean island of Malta and released in 1970.

Naturally, no one, including his family, believes him when he tells ... Read More
Rating: - Good stellar film.
This film has shown up on some reviewers lists as either a misplaced slueth mystery to an English stab at the giallo style. Mark Lester stars as "Ziggy" an imaginitive young boy who crys wolf and tells tall tales a wee bit too much. The setting is the stark landscape of Malta. He witnesses a crime in the city and is branded a liar. Without letting cats out of any bags I will tell you the remainder of the film will hold you as only a well crafted film from the cusp of the 60's / 70's era will hold you. There ... Read More
Rating: - For some boys... playtime can be MURDER!
I think most children have a penchant for lying time to time...probably due to their active imaginations. Speaking for myself, I know I've told a few fibs in my youth, although they mostly revolved around how a particular item in my parent's house got broken, to which my standard reply would be "I don't know". The boy in this film, on the other hand, seems to deal not in fibs, but in what I would refer to as whoppers, or great fat lies, ones so absurd they just can't be true, and now his fondness of falsification ...
