Review of The Best Years of Our Lives (1946) by David F — 12 Jan 2015
Exceptional tale of servicemen returning to civilian life after WWII, and finding difficulty adjusting. One of the first films to deal honestly with the way war changes people, physically, mentally and emotionally.
A well-deserved Best Supporting Actor Oscar went to non-actor Harold Russell, who in real life lost both of his hands during a training accident while in the Army. Excellent performances all around, very sympathetic treatment of what millions were dealing with the year after the wars end.
