Format: VHS, Best Years of Our Lives

Perhaps the most memorable film about the aftermath of World War II, THE BEST YEARS OF OUR LIVES unfolds with the homecoming of three veterans to the same small town. The leads all touch emotional truths: Myrna Loy seems able to express longing, joy, fear and surprise--mostly with her back turned--in a particularly poignant welcome home. The movie never glosses over the reality of altered lives and the inability to communicate the experience of war on the front lines or the home front. A landmark achievement. WWII vet Harold Russell, who lost his hands in the war, is the only person to win two Oscars for the same role, Best Supporting Actor and a special Oscar "for bringing hope and courage to his fellow veterans through his appearance."

    The Best Years of Our Lives The Demobilization, Trials and Triumphs after WWII
by ASourdough4, 12/16/2008

Pros: A masterpiece. Still relevant after 6 Decades
Cons: Let me think about this.
The Bottom Line: Highly recommended. Only the gift of hindsight lets me dwell on the ironies of the so-called 'end' of war. Warning: Sentimentality by the quart. Bring a hanky.
Review: Three Combat Veterans try to resume life as it was before “The Good War” -----1946 …
