=== This work features examples of: ===
* [[Bittersweet Ending]]: {{spoiler|the three war veterans are slowly returning to normal lives, with Homer marrying Wilma, and Fred getting divorced from his unloving wife freeing him to court Al's college-age daughter. But all three acknowledge they still have tough roads ahead of them.}}
* [[Cast the Expert]]: Harold Russell, a man who had lost both hands in [[World War II]], was cast as a man who had lost both hands in [[World War II]]. He did such a good job he won an Oscar (plus a second honorary Oscar), despite never having acted before.
* [[Disabled Character, Disabled Actor]]
* [[Girl Next Door]]: Literally with Homer's girlfriend Wilma.
* [[Oscar Bait]]: Arguably one of the first films to qualify for this
