The Best Film of 1946

Rating: 10/10 (19 July 2004)

The story is about three men who return home from World War II. But the life they once knew has changed.
One of the men has lost his hands in the war. He's become distant from his family and has to struggle to get over his problem.
Another man returns to his loving family to find out that they've grown up and he's missed out on most of their childhoods.
The last man has a lousy job and a loveless marriage. He finds himself in love with the family man's daughter.
These three men must come to terms with the life their living in now. Or the war will become "The Best Years of Our Lives."
Harold Russell plays the man who's lost his arms. He performs this role perfectly. He makes all of us feel sorry for him and frustrated at the same time. Fredric March plays the family man who brings the movie up so we have some happiness in this time. He does this very well, and has great chemistry with Myrna Loy, who plays his wife. And Dana Andrews plays the man who's falling in love with Teresa Wright. Both of them do a great job with showing their love on screen.
The film won seven oscars including Picture, Director, Actor, Supporting Actor, Screenplay, Editing, and Score. It only lost the award for Best Sound. Proving that this film is one of the greatest of all time.
