* Marie gets a good one, delivering a ReasonYouSuckSpeech to Fred - which is quite deserved, considering he made her stop working a job she enjoyed all for the sake of tradition (even when they became too broke to go out). She announces that she'll divorce him, which actually sets up a happy ending for everyone. And she'll probably get to hook up with the man she did have a thing for, so she earns her happy ending too.

* Released just after WWII, it chronicles the difficulties of three returning veterans adjusting to home life. Frederic March's character returns to his position as a bank loan officer, and is frustrated at the bank's foot-dragging at giving other vets a chance with loans. He's got a tendency to drink to excess, and at a bank function he has to give a speech. He's had more than a few, and looks like he's going to totally blow it, but he rallies and makes an impassioned case for investing in the men who gave so much for their country. His speech is received enthusiastically, but it's up in the air whether the higher-ups will actually change their ways.

** Before that there was a a scene where Homer stood up to the man who ignored what the Americans did in the war, called then weak and blamed them for everything that happened in the war including Homer losing his hands. Homer called him out for ignoring everything the Americans had lost and claiming they brought the damage upon themselves. Homer nearly lost it and tried to beat him up right before Fred showed up and did it himself. Homer may be a nice guy, but he's no pushover.
