Without a Trace is a 1983 dramatic film. It is based on the novel Still Missing by Beth Gutcheon. The film stars Kate Nelligan, Judd Hirsch, David Dukes and Stockard Channing.
Susan Selky (Nelligan) is a well-known English professor at Columbia University. She lives in a Brooklyn brownstone with her six-year-old son Alex (Danny Corkill). One March morning, Susan sees Alex off to school, which is only two blocks away. Alex turns to wave to his mother, then disappears around the corner.
Susan returns home after a day of teaching, and becomes increasingly alarmed when Alex is late coming home. She calls her friend and neighbor Jocelyn Norris (Channing), whose daughter is a classmate of Alex's, and finds out that Alex never got to school. The NYPD is immediately called and officers descend on the townhouse, led by Lieutenant Al Menetti (Hirsch). Susan is questioned closely on all aspects of her life and her son's, and police zero in on Susan's estranged husband Graham (Dukes), a professor at NYU who hasn't been seen for hours. When Graham finally turns up, he produces an alibi, ruling him out as a suspect.
Another Day
Some Other Way
I Fall along the wayside
Drifting away
And What I need
Inside of me
I'll find a way to say
And push it all away
I'm holding on to anything
I'm floting here in space
I'm reaching out for anyone
To save me from this place
I can't remember anything
I'm lost without a trace again
So far away into the gray
I'm trying to remember
And find the words to say
Another day
Some other way
Another Day
Some Other Way
I Fall along the wayside
Drifting away
And What I need
Inside of me
I'll find a way to say
And push it all away
I'm holding on to anything
I'm floting here in space
I'm reaching out for anyone
To save me from this place
I can't remember anything
I'm lost without a trace again
I'm waiting here for anyone
I'm floating here in space
I'm reaching out for anyone
To save me from this place
I can't remember anything
