A Movie Masterpiece

Rating: 10/10 (6 March 2020)

This brilliant film recounts the adjustment of fighting Men returning home after years away. I am a Vietnam combat veteran-the explanation is that some served honorably during Vietnam war but never were "in country" as I m many others were! My son in law comments I never talk of my time in Nam. Still too painful.
William Wyler one of the greatest directors in Hollywood History: Jezebel, The Little Foxes, Ben Hur, Funny Girl, etc directed this film for Sam Goldwyn. Starring Myrna Loy who gets first billing!, Frederic March who won his 2nd Oscar, Dana Andrews, Virginia Mayo, and a handicapped man Russell who was given an Honorary Oscar.
This film shot in beautiful black and white the reunion scene when March returns home and the reaction of Miss Loy makes, one scene in particular makes me weep every time I see it.
Kudos to Goldwyn, March, Loy, Andrews and most definitely William Wyler
PS. Bette Davis commented that this film was the best directed film she ever saw, but the great Bette was partial as Wyler was the great love of Bette's life
