Description
The winner of the 1946 nominees, The Best Years of Our Lives is a well intentioned story of three men returning home to their very different families after World War II that set the bar for confronting the challenges facing returning military veterans. While there are two or three solidly acted and moving scenes, Best Years tends seems to think shutting up, getting a good job, and marrying a nice wife are the best cures for war trauma and PTSD— unfortunate for a generation of 1940s moviegoers that probably could have used some talk therapy.
