The beautiful marriage of an Elmer Bernstein score, the great Saul Bass helming and the lyrical narration of Gary Merrill create a life-affirming gem about a ten-year old boy and his perspective on the world. In 18 minutes this masterpiece that thrilled millions at the Kodak Pavillion of the New York World's Fair in 1964-65, captures an exhilaration that easily surpasses the similarly adored but overrated "TO BE ALIVE" that captured the short film live action Oscar in 1965 but doesn't have the staying power or sense of humor that the Searching Eye does. It is available (for a small fortune) on video from Pyramid Films who have a precious felicity for obtaining rights for Expo short films- "Rainbow War" is a perfect example. If there are any other world's fair film nuts who stumble on this little-seen film page, please contact and share your experience.
