[RKO (2)] The golden period after the war is to face it bravely, and the strength in the second half of the film is slightly inferior.

For these three veterans, what the war left behind was not just military exploits or physical disabilities, but mental traumas that were difficult to quell and a temporary inability to adapt to daily life. A very down-to-earth critique of reality with a breath of life, which makes people sigh and hopeful in the end. I still don't like the girl Teresa Wright.

[Al is explaining to the bank president why he made the loan to Mr. Novak]
Al Stephenson: You see, Mr. Milton, in the Army I've had to be with men when they were stripped of everything in the way of property except what they carried around with them and inside them. I saw them being tested. Now some of them stood up to it and some didn't. But you got so you could tell which ones you could count on. I tell you this man Novak is okay. His 'collateral' is in his hands, in his heart and his guts. It's in his right as a citizen.
