Interesting facts

Desperate Search is a 1952 American adventure film directed by Joseph H. Lewis and starring Howard Keel, Jane Greer, Patricia Medina and Keenan Wynn.

Production

Although authentic props are shown in Desperate Search, including a Douglas DC-3, most of the aerial scenes are composed of stock footage. Although director Joseph H. Lewis was offered the opportunity to shoot on location, almost all of the film takes place on MGM's backlot. Selected scenes from Captains of the Clouds (1942) are used, matching the action shot on the studio stage.

Filming took place primarily in the second half of June 1952.
