Harold Russell received TWO Oscars for the ONE role. This had never happened before or since. Also noteworthy, it was his ONLY film.

I believe that the guy who played Homer actually lost his arms in the war and was not an actor before this move

Bette Davis has been quoted as saying this is one of the best movies ever made. I concur 100%! I always watch it when it’s on.

Shelby Carpenter, it was not his only film. He was in two others, notably “Inside Moves” with John Savage.

Kudos to all the actors in the film, but who do you think got top billing? A name never mentioned when discussing the film: Myrna Loy. Cathy O'Donnell's first for Wyler. The other two: "Detective Story" and "Ben-Hur".

loco, He got the Best Supporting Actor plus an honorary award on top of that, hence, two.

Shelby Carpenter, Harold Russell made at least two other films: “Inside Moves” and “Dogtown”. This does not diminish his wonderful performance in “The Best Years of Our Lives”.
