Dawn St. Clair

Intense, thought-provoking movie depicting well-developed characters with great acting by multiple cast members in which the main characters' lives at beginning are well depicted. The main characters all deal with personal issues and their bonds with each other and their then, way of live in a working class PA town....pre-Vietnam war experiences to come. The following war scenes are intense and emotional and it is clear the three men who served and those waiting at home are not going to be the same upon their return, which are quite different events for each of the three. The post war scenes and the attempts by Characters to return to "normal" are sometimes difficult to watch and heart-breaking at times. An epic movie overall.
