Thanks for that link. I’ve been on a kick of watching old movies on youtube that I haven’t ever watched but are much aclaimed.

“Breaker Morant” and “Zulu” for starters and both were great.

IIRC I recall a documentary about directors that served in WWII creating war effort films, and one of them after the war did “The Best Years of Our Lives” because of the impact that the war had on him. (I might be wrong, but...)

Zulu

I love that movie.

It may be better than Casablanca.

“The Best Years of Our Lives” is my all-time favorite movie.

The themes in that movie are timeless.

My wife and I were old movie buffs. I always called that movie Three Came Home, knowing it would tweak her.
