Incident in an Alley

Incident in an Alley is a 1962 American neo noir crime film directed by Edward L. Cahn and starring Chris Warfield, Erin O'Donnell and Harp McGuire.

The film was based on a television play written by Rod Serling that had aired in 1955 as part of the US Steel Hour starring Farley Granger.

[4] Clarence Greene and Russell Rouse were assigned to produce, with Serling adapting the screenplay,[5][6] but the film was not made until several years later.

In a contemporary review for The New York Times, critic Howard Thompson wrote: "For all its devious, transparent moralizing about the shooting of a young boy by a policeman, 'Incident in an Alley' belongs in one.

The synthetic, floridly hewn little melodrama that opened yesterday on the circuits is strictly pulp stuff, conventionally posing a background of juvenile delinquency and the business of adult 'responsibility.
