Overall, this is just a slightly-below-average slice-of-life show filmed and set during WWII. There's no real through plot and just little vignettes that loosely tie together. I could have almost got on board with recommending it until I got to the ending which was so incredibly tone deaf I said, "What the f***" out loud. [Spoiler alert for a 77-year-old movie] So our main character learns via telegram that his brother has died in the war and goes home to tell his family. When he gets to the front porch he encounters his brother's best friend from the army whom the family has never met. He decides this is just as good as having his brother back and shouts up to the family that the soldier has returned home. Are you kidding me?
36 to go...
