Details About the Film

A sobering portrait of the transition to civilian life after World War II, The Best Years of Our Lives follows the intertwined homecoming stories of ex-sergeant Al Stephenson (Fredric March), former bombadier Fred Derry (Dana Andrews), and sailor Homer Parrish (Harold Russell). Profoundly impactful upon its release in 1946, this film was one of the first to address the myriad of issues facing veterans and their families in their attempts to restore normalcy in their everyday lives. Winner of 7 Academy Awards including Best Picture, The Best Years of Our Lives remains a tribute to those who dedicated their lives for a better future. Presented by LaBrunerie Financial.
