(1948) The Search.

DRAMA.

Okay, anyone who has studied history would be aware about the devastation left by the Nazis right after WWII, here are one of those situations which focuses on the children who were orphaned as a result of that. And is a movie about part of that healing process which narrates from the first 15 to 20 minutes about how gov't military were to reunite and comfort children as they're almost left abandoned leading one of those stories to a very plausible case involving a child eventual "search" for his mother. the other thing that makes this film more authentic is the fact children were actually using their natural dialect which doesn't happened a lot in films during this time.

Made three years after WWII had ended this is another powerful film from director Fred Zinnerman, known for directing "High Noon".

4 out of 4 stars.
