Movie Reviews

Synopsis:
In Montgomery Clift's first released film, he plays Ralph Stevenson, an American G.I., on assignment in Germany directly after World War II. While driving in his jeep, he spots a displaced, starving youngster and entices him to his quarters with food. Stevenson and the boy, Karel, develop a close father-son bond. However, it is discovered that Karel's mother is still alive and looking for him amid the rubble of Europe. Just as Stevenson is getting the papers together to legally adopt Karel and take him back to America, mother and son find each other...

Notes:
"The Search" was the second film performance for Montgomery Clift, but the first of his films to reach theaters. The release of his first film, "Red River," shot in 1947, was delayed due to a legal dispute. The film was co-produced by Praesens-Film in Switzerland; copyright held by Loew's International Corporation 1947. Partially shot on location in Germany. Additional cast: Mary Paton (Mrs. Fisher) and William Rogers (Tom Fisher). Additional credits: Mila Melanova (assistant director), Robert D. Mockler & Eva Landsberg (technical advisors), Therese Bonney (technical advisor/military liaison).
