Classic American Film!

Rating: 10/10 (27 April 2004)

The Best Years of Our Lives (1946) - Director: William Wyler The war is over and three veterans return home to small town America and deal with "readjustment." One of the few and one of the best movies ever made to address what happens when the guns stop shooting and soldiers return home to resume their lives. The stellar cast includes Fredric March, Myrna Loy, Teresa Wright and Dana Andrews--all who give touching and human performances. There are too many famous scenes to name them all, but a favorite one shows wife Myrna Loy caught unaware by a surprise return home by husband Fredric March. Watch her body language as she hears the door of her home open and for a second yells out to her children, asking who's there, then realizing it might, it might...A classic American film. (B&W)
