Best Years of Our Lives - Drugstore Scene

[@gerrybennett7705]

It’s amazing that 70 years later this movie still delivers. Excellent in every way. Watched it numerous times

[@clarab3249]

Me too

[@romanclay1913]

Billy Wilder, who had won the Academy Award for Best Director the previous year with The Lost Weekend(1945), hailed it as “the best-directed film I’ve ever seen in my life.”

[@antoniosalieri573]

Theresa Wright was also great in Shadow of Doubt 1943 directed by Alfred Hitchcock

[@brianmorrison7542]

Simply amazing watching these actors at their craft

[@vankalvakis6796]

One of the best movies I have seen. As a veteran, I could relate.

[@pabcde.babcde.5741]

You have to appreciate the irony: the banker who comes out of the war a sergeant and the soda-jerk winds up an Army Air Corps captain. I never tire of watching this film.

[@Lincoln19581969]

Wish movies were half this good today. My all time favorite movie! No exceptions. The best movie with emotions.

[@bretstanley9449]

My favorite too!

[@slodude66]

Too bad that there are no directors as good as William Wyler.

[@romanclay1913]

T E R E S A...W R I G H T was the heart & soul of this film.

[@EricVoegelin]

No, Kathy O’Donnell was.

[@TermiteUSA]

Such a wonderful movie.

[@rudyxrudy]

yes perfect......and love Teresa Wright always

[@hapgood22]

I always loved Teresa Wright .

[@josebelindo1641]

Watch her BONANZA EPISODE

[@None-zc5vg]

She'd be over 100 now.

[@acdragonrider]

I could Marry her

[@edwardcochran5060]

Stand in line pal!🤗

[@kingamoeboid3887]

Me too. She’s the only actor nominated for an Oscar for her first 3 films (Little Foxes, Mrs Miniver and Pride Of The Yankees) and was the youngest actor to have a 3rd Oscar nomination (she was 24 when she was nominated for Pride Of The Yankees) and held that record for 70 years until Jennifer Lawrence broke her record. But this is my favourite from her, also starred in The Rainmaker (1997) directed by Francis Ford Coppola who considers The Best Years Of Our Lives to be one of his all time favourites (Teresa Wright admired him for that film and his efforts and determination on Apocalypse Now).

[@bretstanley9449]

This is one of my favorite scenes. That little kid cracks me up: "My name ain't Bud!" What a brat!

[@dagwood5034]

Perfect movie

[@jogmas12]

Dag Wood perfect movie huh? “ and for what?”

[@Carlparishhonda]

I love watching this movie on DVD. The entire music soundtrack is extremely beautiful.

[@jonathanlewis6473]

Teresa Wright-be still my beating heart.

[@angelabolton4478]

Dana Andrews should have gotten an Oscar for this. He is so good.

[@MrKidneypie]

She intuited immediately Fred's embarrassment.

[@irish89055]

You mean just the fact that he had to work there selling women's perfumes?..

[@10023246]

Best Years- (for the love of- The Best Years of our lives) Long ago, when I came in a wounded world portrayed in film had more emotion joy and thrill than winning at that lottery till the longing queues lucky to find a seat to view for the first time The quintessential homeward friends who had the chance to start again against a world unknown and strange to overcome their damaged frames Each character just like you and I Al and Fred and Homer strived like musketeers of 45' So well defined yet scarred so deep from combat fort there to repeat a greater fight against the change where world moved on they stayed the same Made up it may be the on screen No greater reality I've seen in life than these fictitious beings Who play their part without an end I'll watch you till my senses send a message to my brain and say Best years I wished I'd lived your way Michael Ball, author, poet, artist and composer, but most of all being blessed to love a timeless masterpiece

[@georgebarello-jt7pp]

Can watch this movie over and over

[@errolpletcher9186]

1:15 The transition from death glare to phony smile always kills me. Dana Andrews was a great actor.

[@bretstanley8931]

I never noticed that before! Thanks for pointing that out! Funny!

[@urbanurchin5930]

I always wondered how many takes, it took, to get the little plane to fly directly into Teresa Wrights hands ??

[@joserodriguez-ky5qj]

Obra maestra total,una de mis películas favoritas.

[@jogmas12]

Wow! Who’s that brunette standing in the background in the thumbnail?? What a dame!!!😘😘😘😘😘

[@ettoredipugnar6990]

Agree 100%

[@dougn2350]

$2.98 for a small bottle of lotion. It's not much more for a large bottle today.

[@landfair123]

That $16 perfume was kind of a surprise too.

[@Yankee_Doodle_Dandy]

Doug N, Calculate for inflation, this was filmed in the 40s

[@johnfd0210]

@@landfair123 I checked a converter for what money was worth then/now...16.00 in 1944 would be equal to a little over 200.00 today!

[@ronbraunagel4815]

Teresa Wright could do more acting with a subtle facial expression that most actors could do with a 100-page script.

[@patrick4662]

There was a noir element to this scene - their little secret conversation
