Attached is the 1947 review for the film The Best Years of our lives as it was written by the senior editor of Photoplay:
“Of all the films released since August 1945 it best dramatizes the problems of men returning from war and of their families to whom they return… It eloquently preaches the need for veterans to do their share in the adjustment between home and soldier and between employer and returning worker. It eloquently preaches against the ugly attempts of the few to incite in these chaotic days race and religious hatreds. And it eloquently preaches the truth that physical disability need not cripple a man’s soul or his opportunities.”
