ScoreIt'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. 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. Can these three
men find the courage to rebuild their world? Or are the best years of
their lives a thing of the past? Featuring a brilliant cast that
includes Myrna Loy and Virginia Mayo, The Best Years of Our Lives
garnered seven Oscars, including "Best Picture." Heart-wrenching,
touching and "filled with emotional dynamite" (The Hollywood Reporter),
it remains "one of the best films about war veterans ever made.
