One of the best war movies which does not have a war scene

Rating: 8/10 (11 August 2008)

It's a great movie, perfectly timed (1946), one of its kind. Its not a regular war movie, it actually is about what happens after the war is over and soldiers go back home. I don't think there are many (if any) movie dealing with this subject. The movie talks about various aspects that one faces after returning from the front. These aspects have been channeled through 3 different characters, and are in totally different lives but somehow they cross paths. Everybody in the movie has acted well but Fredric was the pick of the actors who was funny and witty as and when required which is kind of tough to assimilate in one character. But Fredric has done it to perfection. The movie could have been however a little shorter, since most of the walking scenes could have been edited and made this movie around 150ish minutes instead of 172. Myrna, an elegant beauty and actress does a nice job, her expressions tell you that she is watching and absorbing everything and trying to keep things calm all the time. All in all a good quality, enlightening movie.
