The film won seven awards including Best Picture, Best Director and Best Actor at the 19th Academy Awards. The film starts with three veterans, deeply digging into the various problems encountered by American soldiers returning home from the army after the end of World War II. The incomprehension of the family, the incompatibility of the society, and the betrayal of the wife reflected the real current situation of American society at that time. This is a sad and hopeful film. It was what the audience at the time needed, and it gave us comfort~

It turns out that the wedding march was played by a mobile cameraman in a club with lyrics. Was the girl at that time too young or did she prefer salvation?
The Best Years of Our Lives quotes
-
Wilma Cameron: You wrote me that when you got home, you and I were going to be married. If you wrote that once, you wrote it a hundred times. Isn't that true?
Homer Parrish: Yes, but things are different now.
Wilma Cameron: Have you changed your mind?
Homer Parrish: Have I said anything about changing my mind?
Wilma Cameron: No. That's just it. You haven't said anything about anything... I don't know what to think, Homer. All I know is, I was in love with you when you left and I'm in love with you now. Other things may have changed but that hasn't.

Fred Derry: I dreamed I was gonna have my own home. Just a nice little house for my wife and me out in the country... in the suburbs anyway. That's the cock-eyed kind of dream you have when you're overseas.
Peggy Stephenson: You don't have to be overseas to have dreams like that.
Fred Derry: Yeah. You can get crazy ideas right here at home.
