I didn't know until I saw "Best Years" again a few weeks ago, that the returning vet with the missing arms really was a returning vet with missing arms.

When I watched this film again with my son recently he kept asking me how they did such a realistic job depicting his missing hands, given the limits of 1940's movie technology, etc. I didn't tell him until the film ended.

And, he had never had a role in a movie or play. Astounding.
