Montgomery Clift in "The Search" 1948 MGM Fred Zimmerman Oscars WWII 2nd Film

Description: Montgomery Clift in "The Search " MGM 1948 . Lobby card is in very good condition!!!!... (see photos) The Search is particularly notable for its excellent ensemble performances. For the role of the soldier, Zinnemann chose Montgomery Clift. It served the director well that Clift had made only one film prior to this, Red River (which was not yet released) and helped ensure that the film would not turn into a "star" vehicle, thus diluting its dramatic impact. The Search also proved a most moving experience for Clift as he was later quoted as saying the film was the most fulfilling artistic experience of his career; it gave him a chance to dig deep and study a character far removed from his own life experiences. Clift prepared himself for the role by living with an army engineering unit outside of Zurich. He was particularly interested in developing a soldier's gait; he believed that a character could be defined on how a person moved. Clift also cherished his working relationship with Zinnemann, who allowed Clift to improvise some dialogue that he felt was necessary to more fully realize his character.The Search opened nationwide on March 26, 1948, and received unanimous praise. It won Oscars for David Wechsler and Robert Schweitzer for Best Story and a special Oscar for Jandl (outstanding juvenile performance). It also advanced the careers of Zinnemann and Clift, earning them nominations for Best Director and Actor respectively.Also listed Olivia De Havilland SIGNED, Leslie Howard, Cher Signed, Joan Fontaine SIGNED, Claude Rains, Doris Day, Julie Andrews, Mae Murray, Ramon Novarro, William Haines, Steve Reeves SIGNED & other Hollywood Items!!
