In The Best Years of Our Lives, Hoagy played Uncle Butch, a barkeep. Harold Russell played his nephew Homer, who had lost his arms while serving in the Navy. He went through a long period of rehabilitation before he got home. Homer didn't know where he fit in with his family or the girl next door, but Uncle Butch provided emotional support.
