Talk Classic To Me

The Best Years of Our Lives (1946)


Listen Later

Feeling festive this 4th of July? Then The Best Years of Our Lives is the movie for you! William Wyler directed this truly terrific epic with a whole lot of heart which won eight Oscars (one honorary) including Best Picture. The first-rate ensemble cast includes Frederic March, Dana Andrews, Teresa Wright, Myrna Loy, Virginia Mayo, Hoagy Carmichael, and unforgettably stars real-life WW2 veteran, Harold Russell, who made such a positive impact in his film debut that he became the only actor ever to win two Academy Awards for the same performance. The movie follows the lives of three servicemen returning home from war and was notably one of the first films to depict PTSD onscreen before it even had a clinical name. Host, Sara Greenfield and guest, David Greenfield chat about all this and more on this week's episode of Talk Classic To Me.
