Presumed dead in France by the war's end, Charley Grapewin reappears in his family's life during a most crucial time as his sons take on adulthood in opposing ways. The cast is very good with solid performances by all, especially Emma Dunn who portrayed so many loving mothers in films. I couldn't resist thinking how this might have done well in Frank Capra's hands, but Richard Thorpe brought it in under budget.
