Title:
Best Years of Our Lives, The
Synopsis:
The postwar classic The Best Years of Our Lives, based on a novel by MacKinlay Kantor about the difficult readjustments of returning World War II veterans. Featuring a brilliant cast that includes Myrna Loy and Virginia Mayo, this postwar classic garnered eight Oscars including Best Picture (1946). It’s the hope that sustains the spirit of every GI: the dream of the day when he will finally return home. For three WWII veterans, the day has arrived. But for each man, the dream is about to become a nightmare. Former bombardier Captain Fred Derry (Dana Andrews), is returning to a loveless marriage; Sergeant Al Stephenson (Fredric March), is a stranger to a family that’s grown up without him; and young sailor Homer Parrish (Harold Russell) is tormented by the loss of his hands and has been fitted with hooks. Profoundly relevant in 1946, the film still offers a surprisingly intricate and ambivalent exploration of American daily life in post-war America.
