Homecoming

About Homecoming

Self-absorbed Dr. Lee Johnson enlists with the Army medical corps during World War II, more out of a feeling that it's "the thing to do" rather than deep-seated patriotism.

Homecoming is a 1948 romance film directed by Mervyn LeRoy. It runs 113 minutes and was released in April 1948.

Its themes are extramarital affair, nurse, strong woman, and surgeon.

Clark Gable stars as Col. Ulysses Delby 'Lee' Johnson, Lana Turner as Lt. Jane 'Snapshot' McCall, Anne Baxter as Mrs. Penny Johnson, and John Hodiak as Dr. Robert Sunday. The screenplay is by Paul Osborn.

M*A*S*H, Battle Circus, and Pearl Harbor make useful companions to Homecoming, all filed under field hospital and u.s. army hospital. It carries a NR rating.
