Movie Reviews:

• Andres Gomez: Another great Willy Wyler movie.

  The story, with time, is quite expectable but the characters are well defined and developed by the cast.

  Also, it is a good (and probably, too positive) review of the after WWII war lives of the US veterans.

  A must to be seen.
