Oversized box has been cut and mounted in a white, hard plastic clamshell display case. Some of the type has been cut off the edges, the description on the back is mostly intact.

The cassette is nice and clean with a foil security sticker on the right corner assuring you of first generation quality. Pre-viewed for quality and played great on my Fisher vcr. Out Of Print and never put to dvd.

In a plot reminiscent of 'the Window'(1949), 10-year-old Bobby Horton (Pedro Mari Sanchez) comes to Malaga with his mother Eve (Diane Mcbain) so she can serve divorce papers to second husband Joe (John Ireland). Teased about his stuttering by a shopkeeper (Bernabe Barta Barri), Bobby runs off to hide.

Ducking into another store, the youth overhears kidnappers Pete (Al Mulock, spaghetti western veteran) and Manuel (Ricardo Palacios) implicate themselves in the murder of an American child they have kidnapped.

With the killers in close pursuit, Bobby flees through the city as night falls, taking refuge in an abandoned amphitheatre (where he is frightened by a leperous caretaker), a caberet (where he comes under the brief protection of a belly dancer) and a warehouse (where a German sheperd comes to his rescue). When Joe unwittingly involves his stalkers in the search, Bobby's fate seems hopelessly sealed.

FLYING FROM the HAWK looks pretty good for early VHS, with fairly strong colors and contrasts. The mono English soundtrack (John Ireland did his own dubbing) is also reasonably strong. While the opening credits are windowboxed, the feature defaults thereafter to acceptable standard framing that seems generous, suggesting an original aspect ratio of no greater than 1:66.1.

I liked this movie a lot more than most critics, I thought the locations kept it interesting and the movie does look appealing.
