Little Boy Lost is a 1953 American drama film directed by George Seaton and starring Bing Crosby, Claude Dauphin, and Christian Fourcade.

Following the war, he returns to France trying to find his son, whom he lost during a bombing raid but has been told is living in an orphanage in Paris.

There, he finds a sad and confused boy, Jean (played by Fourcade), who does bear a resemblance to Lisa, and Wainwright believes he might be his son.

The war correspondent, who had never in his own heart accepted the fact that his wife was dead, was forced to listen to the official, brutal account of her death, read by her friend.

The following day Bosley Crowther of The New York Times wrote "here Mr. Crosby is playing a straight dramatic role in a picture of deep emotional content and genuinely tragic, overtones.

And yet it must be said for Mr. Crosby that he manages to convey a strong sense of real emotional torment in a tragically wracked character and that he serves as a credible buffer in a candidly heart-socking film.

"[6] The reviewer for Variety commented: "Based on the Marghanita Laski story of a father’s search for the young son from whom he had become separated because of the war, the film doesn’t come off with the tremendous heart impact of the original, or of the television version seen only a season or two back, although it does have sufficient moving moments to be satisfactory family filmfare"[7] Little Boy Lost received the Golden Globe Award for Best Film Promoting International Understanding.
