Rating:  - I dare you not to cry
My Mother told me about this movie. She first saw it in a movie theater in 1950. It became somewhat of a running joke between us, not because it was funny in any way, but neither one of us could watch the ending without crying. We would both leave the room! I get misty-eyed even thinking about it. The main point I want to make is that it is a beautifully made and well acted movie that I would highly recommend.
Rating:  - Great biography
This film is based on a true story and although Hollywood puts their "mark" on it, it is very realistic of how war impacts wives and children. Claudette Colbert is excellent in this role and I would recommend this as a rainy day movie.
Rating: - Good movie from the past
I remember seeing this movie years ago when it came out to the theaters. I was only a teenager in the middle of World War II. The scenes of being a prisoner of war made a great impact on me. I read the book and found the details of survival very interesting. I have both the book and the VHS and have enjoyed seeing and reading both again over fifty years later. Claudette Colbert is terrific as usual. I would recommend the book first and the movie second.
Rating: - Great DVD!
I was pleasantly surprised that for the price this DVD's quality was pretty good. I have seen this movie numerous times on late night TV and the quaility of the transfer on this DVD is clear and clean- A good buy!
Rating: - An Underrated WWII Film Well Worth Your Time
I had never even heard of Three Came Home until I ran across it in a catalog. The description sounded interesting enough to get me to buy it, and I'm glad I did. Three Came Home is a riveting and moving film that grabs the viewer and never lets go. Focusing on what happened to many civilians in the Pacific the film covers a 4 year period from 1941 to 1945, and it shows what kind of hardships and trials many people had to endure in prison camps during the war, primarily focusing on womens camps. Claudette Colbert gives a fantastic performance, and Sessue Hayakawa is outstanding as the Colonel in charge of the prison camps. The script is intelligent and filled with great dialogue, and the acting is first rate throughout. The Alpha DVD is quite good - the print is VERY clean for a "bargain" (public domain) copy, and you should have no concerns as to the quality of this DVD. Highly recommended.
