STORY SUMMARY

Bing Crosby stars as Bill Wainwright, an American reporter whose life was forever changed while working in France during the years surrounding World War II.

Bill fell in love with and married a French woman named Lisa, and together they had a young son. War separated the family, and Bill later learned that Lisa had been killed while his son had disappeared.

Years after the war, Bill receives information that a boy who may be his missing son is living in a French orphanage. Carrying years of grief and uncertainty with him, he returns to France determined to discover the truth.

At the orphanage, Bill meets young Jean. Although he desperately wants to believe the child is his son, he struggles with uncertainty and fears allowing hope to overcome him after so many years of loss.

Set against postwar France, Little Boy Lost is an emotional story about family, grief, hope and a father's search for the child he thought he had lost forever.
