    Selleck gives a good performance.

    Absorbing drama about three ex-servicemen immediately after WWII trying to adjust to life as civilians. I saw this movie only once when it was played on late night Television many years ago and i never forgot it . It has always been stuck in my mind and i hope i can see it again one day.

    I personally found this movie to be profoundly moving, and although it was based on WWII, the issues portrayed were similar to the ones soldiers experience today. It's one of those movies that is engrossing and that you are completely moved by it.

    Tom Selleck also gives a good performance.

    Conclusion - Good movie and Highly recommended viewing. 7 out of 10.
