Heroes for Sale (1933)

Tom Holmes gets shot on a WWI battlefield and is thought dead...BUT he is taken to a German hospital and nursed back to health. He comes home to find that the coward responsible for putting him in harm's way has also taken credit for his heroic work on the battlefield...BUT he's given a job in that guy's bank. He loses his job when it's found out that he's addicted to morphine as a result of his injuries...BUT he kicks the habit in rehab. His mom dies and he leaves town...BUT his new town comes with Loretta Young looking all pretty.

And on and on. Basically, Tom's a decent guy who keeps getting lemons and squeezing them into lemonade and we should all be like him. This movie preaches so many messages that I was a little tired of it all by the time the credits rolled.
