Compelling story, excellent production, understated and engaging acting.

A very well made film telling the story of three US servicemen as they try to adapt to civilian life and the dramatic change of circumstances following their combat experiences in World War 2. The lead actors are very convincing in their parts and many returning servicemen must have identified with them and their struggle to fit in to domestic life. The production is excellent, external shots being shot in real time 1946 with their home town of 'Boone City' looking just the part, representing a successful, bustling town in post-war USA. And who wouldn't want to visit Al's bar, where Hoagy Carmichael resides at the piano! It is a long film, just short of 3 hours, slow-paced but engaging throughout. Probably best viewed in one sitting as I found it dragged a little towards the end when I watched it over 2 evenings. Read full review
