Soldier comes back to his small home town in Indiana after the war and disrupts some lives. Sinatra is solid as the disgruntled soldier and former writer. MacLaine is wonderful as a dim-witted floozy that swoons after Sinatra, who inexplicably wants to marry Hyer after spending a few hours with her. Sinatra's interest in Hyer, an attractive but cold-hearted and stuck-up schoolteacher, is never believable. Kennedy is fine as Sinatra's brother while Martin barely registers in an unsubstantial role. The finale feels contrived and out of place, an indication that Minnelli was out of his comfort zone with this material. Good score by Bernstein.
