Bright Victory.

During World War II, Larry Nevins is blinded by a German sniper while fighting in North Africa. He is taken to a Pennsylvania hospital for other blinded soldiers, where he struggles to accept and come to terms with his disability. He befriends Joe Morgan, another blinded veteran, and Judy, a local bank teller who also volunteers at socializing with disabled soldiers. One day Larry, unaware that Joe is black, utters a racial slur, causing a huge rift between Larry and others. Meanwhile, he progresses well in his recovery, passing a test to see how well he can handle himself on the street.
