Being that this movie was made in 1946 and was about 1946, the ending intrigued me. It pretty much assumed that whatever complexities the soldiers and their families were experiencing would somehow be solved (in the film's case, love was the answer). This was very different than what we saw in ''Matewan'' because that film ended without any closure for the labor workers. In terms of the time they were made, these two films are not so different in that sense either. ''Matewan'' was made in the 80's when labor unions consumed the media's attention, as it did in the 1920's. So it was like both these films were created in response to current events and attempted to give a solution (if there was one) to the problems at hand. - David F. | Being that this movie was made in 1946 and was about 1946, the ending intrigued me.

| + | Being the GIANT country music geek that I am, I kept thinking back to Brad Paisley's "Whiskey Lullaby" video. The soldier returns from war, finds his wife cheating on him, and as Brad sings, "puts the bottle to his head and pulls the trigger." I kept waiting for a story that would be devastatingly sad, and was greatly relieved that this didn't happen. --Cash Nelson | ||
