The Best Years of Our Lives

A bit of a feel good patriotic cry fest, but it was made in 1946 so it’s a bit forgivable. Ironically the most convincing actor was the non-professional Harold Russell as Homer Parrish. For the life of me, I can’t understand why Myrna Loy stays with her husband when he is basically a drunk who is feeling sorry for himself. The movie is a bit overlong, but the idea to focus on veterans from each of the branches of the military was droll.
