this film tell the story of several couple cop with post wwii life . through many move account the audience learn how the war have change people and while their human spirit go on to triumph . my favorite scene be where a young service man and who return home a a double amputee ( after lose both arm up to the elbow ) be sure that he would be no good to his sweetheart and who still want to marry him . his girl simply say that she would help him with the thing he wouldn not be able to do and but that they would be fine together . move by this true demonstration of love and the man embrace his fiancée in tear . the scene where a service man ask for a bank loan be also a highlight . when he be initially refuse a a high risk and a high ranking bank official take over say you fight for our country and keep u safe that good enough for me . your loan be approve . the best year of our life win 6 oscar and include a special statuette for the disabled actor who show u all that life go on and will continue to be worth living and even with a severe handicap . this film be a joy to watch over and over again . a true classic . highly recommended .
