Return of the Soldier

Bates heads the cast of this dour drama as the shell-shocked First World War soldier who has had all of his long-term memory wiped out by the conflict; returning home to his devoted wife (Christie), his indifference towards her throws him into a romantic tangle involving smitten local Ann-Margret and old school sweet-heart Jackson. All of which rambles along rather inconsequentially, striving for worthiness but achieving very little in the end. More portentous than proud.
