This movie is great because of the togetherness factor. It has 3 people meet, get on the same plane and unbelievably they all live in the same city. However they all come from different ways of life. A banker, a soda jerk and I can’t remember what the sailor (Harold Russell) did. The war, as devistating as it is brought these people together. They live, they laugh, they love thru the hardships of coming back and not being able to find work. Not being able to put their arms around their girl, getting fired from being a soda jerk. It ends happily, of course, and it’s a great ending. The sailor marries the girl next door, the banker becomes more humble and the soda jerk, (Dana Andrews, my favorite) get Teresa Wright. Oh yeah, great ending to new beginnings.
