May 15, 1949, Ivan Jandl [Update 2: This is Ivan Jandl in "The Search." Jandl received a special Academy Award and a miniature statuette for outstanding juvenile performance, The Times said. According to IMDB, Jandl died in 1987. The Times apparently never published an obituary.]

[Update: Please congratulate Mary Mallory, Dewey Webb, Jenny M, Bob Levinson, Gerald McCann, Mike Hawks, Michael Ryerson, CandyC, La Peregrina and Rick Scott for identifying him!]

Here’s our weekend mystery lad!

There’s a new photo on the jump!

[Update: Karel Malik (Ivan Jandl) finds that Ralph Stevenson (Montgomery Clift) and Jerry Fisher (Wendell Corey) are pretty good guys in a scene from Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer's "The Search" in a photo stamped Sept. 14, 1948.

[Please congratulate Jenny M, Mary Mallory, Julie Merholz, Gerald McCann, Dennis Gilliam, Patricia van Hartesveldt, Rick, Arye Michael Bender and Bob Levinson for identifying the mystery companions and Gary Martin, LC and Herb Nichols for identifying our mystery lad!  ]

Here’s our mystery lad with two (not) mysterious companions.

    Today’s still of Monty Clift and Wendell Corey prodded the deduction that the film is, ‘The Search’. And therefore the boy is Ivan Jandl.
