We spent Veterans Day---and a friend's birthday as well---watching "The Best Years of Our Lives", the 1948 film directed by William Wyler, and based on MacKinlay Kantor's novella Glory for Me.
The 1946 film starred Dana Andrews, Myrna Loy, Virginia Mayo, Theresa Wright, Harold Russell and Fredric March. Put this one on your "must-see" bucket list.
