Review of The Search (1948) by Adrian B — 25 Mar 2010
Like "the Best Years of Our Lives," this film follows the aftermath of WWII with an emotional appeal, but it follows those who have suffered through the horrors of the concentration camps in Germany.
What I found incredibly significant of this film is followed the lives of a boy and his mother, who were from Czechoslovakia. Usually, we hear about the victims being mainly Hebrew, and yes, they made reference to them being sent to the Palestine.
For once, there was the issue concerning another group of people being abused by the Nazi's. Fine performances from Montgomery Clift and the rest of the cast. Another film overlooked by the 1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die list and many other critics, excluding Bosley Crowther.
It seems so unpopular. Very, very good.
