Your last statement can be read either as referring to the era the movie was made, 1946, or our era now, but the latter hits home to me especially strong.<br />Lallyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05310472614196384595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4567168789336947243.post-44271280552457240142013-03-20T00:55:25.052-04:002013-03-20T00:55:25.052-04:00I agree, it tells three complicated stories and do...I agree, it tells three complicated stories and does it a lot of heart, not so common in movies of that era. <br /><br />I think my favorite scene is Frederic March wrestling with his conscience as he tries to justify giving a loan to a vet who has no collateral, just a desire to grow things.<br /><br />But I'm forgetting the scene when Harold Russell gives his fiance a preview of what life with him will be like. Haunting but full of compassion, again not an emotion that this era has much time for. -K-https://www.blogger.com/profile/03289562368002376807noreply@blogger.com
