Quite meaty study of post WW2 veterans' various adjustments to life - to show Guy Madison actually crying must have seemed quite shocking - is of course no Best Years of Our Lives but definitely watchable. Dorothy McGuire is against type as widowed 'tramp', Mitchum in cheerful early role, Bill Williams the amputee and Jean Porter the rather too keen 15 year old neighbour (though Guy's mum has no problem with her come-ons).
Some good jive lingo too.
