Bright Victory (1951)

Blinded by a German sniper's bullet, GI Larry Nevins (Arthur Kennedy) was sent to Philadelphia for rehab, which he ultimately tackled with the kind assistance of volunteer Judy Greene (Peggy Dow). However, his choice to return to family, fiancée (Julia Adams), and the future he thought awaited back in Florida would yield disappointment. Long-sought postwar drama adapted from Baynard Kendrick's "Lights Out" co-stars James Edwards, Will Geer, Jim Backus, Richard Egan; Mark Robson directs. 97 min. Standard; Soundtrack: English.
