I decided to let FOX News and the horse races have the night off, and give The Best Years of Our Lives a chance for almost three hours of commercial-free viewing.

I don’t know how to gauge a movie early, or get a feel for it, in most cases. With that in mind, a few quick notes.

The first half-hour was gripping. The vulnerability of each soldier returning home was felt.

The next thing I wrote down was how impressed I was with the women's characters. They seemed to be sharper, more interesting people than the men. Myrna Loy was humorous and smart.

As the movie progressed, I found myself rooting for the guys to find some happiness, but the actresses' roles were the more memorable.

Later, the staring scene between Fred and Al at the bar was unique in movie history. The camera didn't move and neither did the two characters, as Fred was told, by Al, to stay away from Al's daughter.
 

Al: “I haven’t called you a heel… yet”  

I thought several times, throughout the film, about how much respect the white male characters were treated with by the film makers: hard-working, perseverant, and good people. Fast forward 72 years, are there ANY whites in TV and movies given similar respect? Most of the traits I see whites being allowed to have in 2018, are as incompetent fools and buffoons to be the dupes of “in-control” black characters.

As I mentioned previously, these movies show a different country than we have now, in so many ways. We were an America then—that was white—and a country at its peak.

Look what's happened to us now... I wistfully remember when we WERE great, not so long ago—and it WAS because we were 90-95% white.

(Thanks for the reminder that this film was on Monday night, by the way).

[N.S.: I thank David in TN, for the heads-up.]
