- TriviaThe uncredited music used is Miklós Rózsa's score for The Asphalt Jungle (1950).
- GoofsWhen Janet picks flowers, they give zero resistance to her pull and all come out with neatly clipped stems. It's very obvious that the flowers were pre-cut and inserted in the ground material by prop gaffers.

Featured review
Minor search drama from MGM to give Keel non-singing role...
HOWARD KEEL was MGM's robust baritone who would still be making big musicals for his home studio--but DESPERATE SEARCH was designed to keep the actor busy when there were no musical assignments ready for him. It's strictly a programmer for the bottom half of a double bill, running only one hour and thirteen minutes.
Keel acquits himself well--strong and earnest--as the pilot who is part of a search organized to find his two children missing in a plane crash. His ex-wife, PATRICIA MEDINA, is on hand to stir up a little love rivalry over his affections. JANE GREER is the current wife, anxious that the organizers listen to her husband's idea of where to look for the downed plane. KEENAN WYNN is Keel's pilot friend.
The children are shown stranded in the wilds of British Columbia with a cougar lurking nearby adding danger to their already dire situation. LEE AAKER plays the sturdy and resourceful youngster with the sister who is hysterical most of the time--something that could have been toned down a bit for my taste.
An interesting trifle with nice work from Keel, Greer and Medina.
