Three Came Home is something of a forgotten film. It rarely gets mentioned when WWII films are discussed, but it should be. While not as graphic or detailed as Schindler's List, and while the story isn't nearly as tragic, Three Came Home was still very much the precursor to that film in style and tone. With a similar theme, and an intelligent script, this is a film ahead of it's time and deserves to be watched for generations to come. The writing, acting, and direction are all top notch, and the quality of the film may be a pleasant surprise to many. What's just as nice is the print that Alpha used. The print is as clean and clear as any that I've seen on a "public domain" DVD. In fact, this print rivals some films of that era released on DVD by major studios. If you like WWII movies, or if you like good drama, buy Three Came Home. You will be glad that you did. (I sure am.)

I don't like WAR movies - but this one is FANTASTIC! Not a lot of "war" scenes. I put the movie in - thinking I don't like war stuff - but you know - this kept me so entertained! I could not leave the t.v. until it was over! Claudette Colbert is just wonderful as the star in this movie - you truly felt her pain and anguish as she was in the prison camp with her small son. I HIGHLY recommend this movie. I just loaned my copy to my mother - and I handed her a catalog from Oldies too! She'll have to order her own copy! I want mine back!

I've seen many a war movie on VHS/DVD, but "Three Came Home" is the best for being made back in the 40's. Claudette Colbert did a great job acting in the picture. There was not many scenes showing battle secenes, but what there was in the picture was enough to make it look authentic. I'd recommend this movie highly.
