Synopsis
Made in the hopeful post-World War II era that produced such classics of social conscience as GENTLEMEN'S AGREEMENT, PINKY and HOME OF THE BRAVE, this provocative film is a fable for its time - and ours. It tells the supernatural-tinged story of an orphan who finds a safe haven in small-town America...until the day his hair turns green. Then the townsfolk turn against him, frightened by the change they cannot understand. A call for tolerance, an inspiring statement that "different" doesn't mean "threatening," THE BOY WITH GREEN HAIR boasts a fine cast (Robert Ryan, Pat O'Brien, Dean Stockwell), a popular theme song ("Nature Boy") and the feature-film debut of director Joseph Losey (THE SERVANT, THE GO-BETWEEN).
