AFS Essential Cinema: THE BEST YEARS OF OUR LIVES November 18, 2008

Still one of the most powerful and relevant postwar movies to come out of Hollywood, THE BEST YEARS OF OUR LIVES follows the lives of three returning veterans trying to reintegrate into their rather unremarkable pre-war lives. One has lost his hands in combat , another is returning to a dead-end job and a dying marriage, and the third (March), though securely middle-class, has been dramatically changed by wartime and intense male bonding, which transcended class divisions.
