Wiki.
The Boy with Green Hair is a 1948 American fantasy-drama film in Technicolor directed by Joseph Losey in his feature film directorial debut. It stars Dean Stockwell as Peter, a young war orphan who is subject to ridicule after his hair mysteriously turns green, and is based on the 1946 short story of the same name by Betsy Beaton. Co-stars include Pat O'Brien, Robert Ryan, and Barbara Hale.
According to director Joseph Losey, "the original story was a fantasy about racial discrimination," but it was eventually rewritten as an allegorical anti-war story, with the message that war always damages children.
