Harold Russell (the actor who played Homer Parrish) was really the real deal. His acting was really based on his own experiences. He does accurately portrayed a disabled veteran. - A.

| + | Holy Moses! What happened to the good old days where women took domestic science classes, were expected to get married right out of high school, and be housewives! Lol, anyways...I think this movie definitely captured how the lives of women began changing during and after the war. During the war, women had to step up to the plate and take charge. They began working outside the home and, as a result started becoming more independent. The movie shows the dynamic between this change. Fred's wife has clearly embraced her new found independence by getting her own job. Peggy also has a job working in the hospital. Although the movie shows how the roles of women were beginning to change, the old ways are still there. Peggy's mom is still the perfect housewife. Peggy is also groomed to become a housewife, which is evident in the class on domesticity that she took, and it is likely that she would give up her job as soon as she is married. Fred's wife reluctantly gives up her job at the night club once Fred comes back home. --Erin L. | ||
