Truly a great film. Harold Russell and Dana Andrews are well remembered in this film, Russell for his acting debut and brutal honestly about the lost of his hands, and Andrews for the very dramatic reliving of his character's wartime experiences.

But, I like Fredric March's subtle acting as the bank loan officer returning to a "normal" job after seeing much bloody action as an infantry sergeant. Anyone who gets a chance should rent "The Iceman Cometh" to see an aged March play Harry Hope, the owner of the bar in which the entire play takes place. He's just great as is Lee Marvin (no kidding) as the protagonist, Hickey.

Don’t forget the Beautiful Virginia Mayo, and The talented Hoagy Carmicheal.
