The Miracle of Morgan's Creek (1944) André Bazin Sturges delights in forcing upon his characters... the entire weight of weight of the domestic prejudices, social conventions, and moral imperatives that could exist in a small American town during wartime.

The Best Years of Our Lives (1946) André Bazin Nonetheless, these reservations are not intended to diminish the eminent merits of The Best Years of Our Lives, in which the mastery of one of the world's greatest directors is ever on display.

It's a Wonderful Life (1946) André Bazin Capra remained true to classical Hollywood narrative, conceived and directed here, it is true, with almost hallucinatory skill. The scenes of tenderness are capable of penetrating the armor of even the most skeptical critical mind.
