Eyewitness (also entitled Sudden Terror) is a 1970 British drama film directed by John Hough.
Ziggy, a boy of about twelve, is an accidental witness to a killing on a Mediterranean island, after which he is attacked himself. He goes on the run with his older sister, Pippa, helped by their grandfather.
The film was green lit by Bryan Forbes at Elstree Studios, who was impressed by Hough's debut film about Robin Hood. He did some uncredited rewriting of the script.
