I saw this once in the mid 80s and was keen to see if it was as good as I remembered. I think it is really good and stands up well today.
Its the type of film we dont really see any more and perhaps out of step for Hollywood at the time. Three men come home from the war and adjust back to Civvy Street. They all have issues to sort out, disbility, shell shock and so on. Relationships to rebuild, jobs to get and lives to pick up.
One of the actors is an amputee basically playing himself and he does a great job. Top class cast headed by Myrna Loy as the films moral compass. But the cast are all first class including the incredible Virginia Mayo as a slut with a bit of depth. Maybe the best part she ever had.
It tackles some grown up stuff and does it really well. Two and a half hours and you can see it on Amazon for free. Treat yourself it is time well spent.
