Finally on DVD! This is just a wonderful story. A czech woman is searching for her lost boy after the end of WWII. The documentary style of the movie, especially the first half is heart wrenching. All those young kids without parents, alone and grief stricken from the bleakness of the concentration camps. You really feel for them during that time period. The war might have stopped but the tears of sorrow did not. The narration and intro make this clear. While the little boy is presumed dead, he wanders the ruins of Nuremberg. Steve (Clift) finds him hungry, dirty and tattered. Steve takes care of him and learns of his past via a tattoo on the little boys arm. He also teaches the little boy English, names him "Jim" and offers to take the boy to the States. These scenes offer some very casual and humorous dialogue. The most natural I have ever seen Montgomery Clift. Meanwhile, the czech boy's mother is searching, searching searching... Will she ever find her lost son? Will "Jim" ever know what having a mother means? Would you give up on your search for your loved ones if you were in their position? I viewed this film a decade ago for the first time and have remembered it and loved it ever since. The courage of those lost orphans are amazing. Now this film is finally on DVD! What a great film!Read full review
It is a good story and characters are well developed. It also feels authentic about the aftermath of WWII in Europe.
