I believe this film is one of the most important films of the 1950's. It paints the first realistic story of a WW2 GI with Ptsd and also depicting the difficulty that returning soldiers and sailors had in entering back in society after the horrors they experienced in the greatest War ever fought in history. The entire cast is fantastic, especially Peck, Jones & March. Jennifer Jones was an underrated Oscar winning actress that had her own unique style. In this picture she plays an ambitious wife who remembers a different husband before he went to war. She is perplexed that he is much more conservative and protective since coming home. This I believe is probably the most important sub-plot of the movie. She pushes her husband to be the man she believes he can be. And inevitably he becomes that person. They worked out their difficulties, because of their tremendous love for one another. It's one of the greatest movies of the 1950's for certain

It's encouraging to this 70 year old grandma to see a young person enjoy the classic movies. Enjoyed your review of this movie.

I really enjoyed the movie. Usually the 2.5 hour length would have bothered me but not in this film.
