Title: One of the most moving stories ever...
Review: ...unless you're devoid of empathy. If this movie doesn't affect your emotions, call a shrink. I saw it once on TV as an young adolescent in the 1950's, and it moved me even then. But I forgot the title. So for decades, I hoped that I would run across the film on TV and reconnect--even though by that time I only vaguely remembered it as a good story about a soldier with no hands. Then one Sunday morning in the early 1980's, I turned on HBO just as the title hit the screen. A few minutes into the film Harold Russell pulled his hand-hooks out of his pockets to sign a military form, and I screamed to my wife, "It's that movie!" I felt like I had won the lottery. The movie affected me just as much the second time as the first and all the other viewings since. One can just feel what it would be like to come home after being separated from friends and family for four or five years while the entire world had been at war.
