Great story about "the war at home", ranking only slightly below Mrs. Miniver and The Best Years of Our Lives but slightly above The Enchanted Cottage.
The knock on this one comes when Elizabeth (Claudette Colbert), thinking her husband (Orson Welles) was killed in the first world war, sees him again after twenty years and doesn't recognize him. You're supposed to believe that a beard and a little grey in the hair renders a person unrecognizable. It's similar to Superman putting on a pair of glasses and everyone thinks he's Clark Kent. That aside, the film is still remarkable.
Colbert is absolutely breathtaking. And what is it about Orson that makes him so unpretentious in spite of himself? He approaches every role as though he's playing Hamlet or King Lear and he pulls it off. Could any other actor of his day, or any day for that matter, get away with that? He is truly one of a kind.
One last note: Look for an adorable 8 yr. old Natalie Wood in her first credited screen role. What a cutie!
