"12 o'clock High" (1949)

[MikeK]

My favorite from that era was The Best Years of our Lives, 1946.

Myrna Loy, Frederick March, Hoagie Carmichael.

It was the end of the daily killed-and-missing-in-action reports on the six o'clock radio news, the end of food and gas rationing and, most important, the end of the gnawing worry if our fathers, sons and brothers would be coming home. I was only ten years old in 1946 but I do have vague recollection of the relieved and comfortable mood of that immediate post-war era, which was reflected in the feeling that movie imparted.

12 O'clock High is among my favorite movies. I watch it every time it comes around, which is at least once a year.
