Witness

Movie • 1985 • Crime  

Report
A sheltered Amish child is the sole witness of a brutal murder in a restroom at a Philadelphia train station, and he must be protected. The assignment falls to a taciturn detective who goes undercover in a Pennsylvania Dutch community. On the farm, he slowly assimilates despite his urban grit and forges a romantic bond with the child's beautiful mother.

There is one short nudity scene. We briefly see a groan woman standing with her breasts showing and holding a sponge and a basin of water. This scene is only for about 8 seconds.
