Though this remake of the critically aclaimed orginal 1953 black and white film "The Little Fugitive" by Ruth Orkin and Morris Engel - this Joanna Lipper's 2006 remake was made in Coney Island it was not submitted and/or presented at the Coney Island Film Festival. The original version was nominated for an academy award for best writing. The remake did not make much noise.Little Fugitive - Trailer
