Wyler shows his skill by perfectly blending drama and comedy in this portrait of three ww2 veterans. All characters are wonderfully drawn and multidimensional, the humor is subtle, the problems it touches realistic, and nothing is simply black and white. Alas, although it's a masterpiece of cinematography, it's also a lengthy film (3 hours), and focusing on problems specific to post-war america, making it hard to relate to for most viewers, and maybe just a bit boring.
