The Men (1950)

Marlon Brando's first film. Add to that a great performance by Everett Sloane and Teresa Wright. I couldn't find a preview of this film on youtube.

The film is about life after the war for veterans who became paralyzed as a result of combat injuries. I give it 3.5 solid stars. It is avaliable on instant viewing on Netflix and I think it is worth watching. These men go through so many phases of acceptance of their lifelong disability. Brando showed all of those emotions so well, it didn't seem to me like it was his first movie.
