    • The Search (1948) Director: Fred Zinnemann. Filmed in the remnants of postwar Germany, The Search’s quasi-documentary feel is only heightened by the casually naturalistic presence of Clift, making an Oscar-nominated debut as a cocksure military engineer determined to locate the mother of a young Czech refugee (Oscar-winning child actor Ivan Jandl) lost in Berlin.
