THE BEST YEARS OF OUR LIVES
February 9, 2015  | By David Bianculli  | 1 comment

TCM, 8:00 p.m. ET

 

Robert E. Sherwood adapted MacKinlay Kantor’s novel for the big screen in this powerful 1946 drama, which, one year after WWII was over, dramatized the plight of returning war veterans, and the impact of that war on both the veterans and their loved ones. Think of it, if you like, as a previous-generation character study on par with American Sniper, mounting with haunting sensitivity by director William Wyler. Dana Andrews, Fredric March and Harold Russell star, and watch for singer-songwriter Hoagy Carmichael as Butch.

why do the Best Bets have recommendations for programs that were on the day before? For instance, I received on Feb. 10 the item about Best Years of Our Lives showing on TCM on Feb. 9. Please respond about this.
