The Search is a 1948 Swiss-American film directed by Fred Zinnemann which tells the story of a young Auschwitz survivor and his mother who search for each other across post-World War II Europe. It stars Montgomery Clift, Ivan Jandl, Jarmila Novotná and Aline MacMahon.

Bosley Crowther of The New York Times praised it highly, calling it, "an absorbing and gratifying emotional drama of the highest sort". Crowther thought that Clift got "precisely the right combination of intensity and casualness into the role". Clint Eastwood singled out Clift's performance as the one that had the greatest influence on his own acting career.

Plot: The Maliks are a young Czech family consisting of mother and doctor father, Hannah and Jan, and children, older daughter Vlasda and younger son Karel. During World War II, the Nazis separate the family: Jan and Vlasda are eventually killed, and Hannah and Karel, together, are sent to Auschwitz where they are eventually separated from each other. In post war Germany, Hannah, looking for Karel, wanders from one United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration (UNRRA) camp after another, these camps where many of the children who were separated from their parents during the war are housed. Meanwhile, U.S. Army engineer, Ralph 'Steve' Stevenson, finds a scared and hungry Karel wandering the streets - Karel managed to run away from one of the UNRRA camps. Suspicious of Steve at first, Karel, who Steve renames "Jim" as he will not provide his own name, ultimately learns to trust Steve. Thinking that Jim's mother is dead, Steve wants to bring Jim back to the United States with him, not knowing that Jim's mother is on a desperate mission looking for her son.
