Amazon.com essential video - One of the first films to deal with the aftermath of Vietnam, this Hal Ashby drama focuses on the effects war has on the people at home. Jane Fonda plays the wife of a tightly wound Marine officer (Bruce Dern), who is more interested in his own advancement than his wife's existence. When he heads overseas, she volunteers at a V.A. hospital, where she becomes involved with a paraplegic veteran (Jon Voight), whose anger at his injury and pain over his experiences in the war eventually fuels his passion to protest the war--and to be Fonda's lover. Though the film has its excesses and obvious melodramatic roles (such as Robert Carradine as a distraught vet unable to cope), it offers powerful performances by all involved; Fonda and Voight received Oscars, as did the screenplay. --Marshall Fine
