Movingly enacted story of a G.I. (Madison, giving us all he's got) and his buddies in the tough times of adjusting to civilian life after WWII. McGuire has lost her husband in the war, and they find each other. Porter appears as a fiesty next-door neighbor with a crush on the freshly returned G.I. Nice fight scene at the finish, and Mitchum is, as usual, at his best under the direction of Dmytryck.
