Summary: Three WWII veterans struggle to adapt following their return home to small town America.
Things I Liked: The characters. The fluid manner in which director William Wyler juggles multiple storylines, all the while managing to keep each one interesting. Excellent performances by Myrna Loy, Teresa Wright, Harold Russell, Fredric March and Hoagy Carmichael. Worthy of every one of the seven (7!) Oscars it won.
Things I Disliked: The delayed climax made me more aware of the film's running time than I otherwise would have been.
Three stars out of five stars
