Little Fugitive (1953), an innovative child’s-eye movie shot with a new type of portable 35mm movie camera on the streets of Brooklyn and Coney Island in summer 1952 — which must then have still been recognisable as the place Lovecraft knew just over twenty years earlier. (Yes, nit-pickers, Lovecraft visited and enjoyed Coney Island several times). The movie has been restored by the Museum of Modern Art. Not to be confused with the 2006 remake.
