This film is great...

Rating: Null/10 (13 October 1998)

I can't believe this movie came out only one year after WWII had ended.
We've seen the "war hero comes home" story a million times since, but this early incarnation is especially great, with a very modern narrative style, a terrific script with great characters and dialogue, and some truly wonderful small moments.
Why I'd never heard of this film before the AFI "best 100 films" list I don't know. See it.
