Once LOST, Oscar nominated short found on YouTube!

Another short, this 29-minute John Hayes film was nominated for Live Action Short back in 1958, but ultimately lost out to Disney's Grand Canyon. The film marked a strong beginning for Hayes, who went on to direct a number of B- movie genre pictures, such as Walk the Angry Beach and Garden of the Dead. The Academy Film Archive is also actively searching for copies of the film.

Charming short film from 1958. Nominated for Academy Awards, best live action short film category. 28:50 minutes.
