Coming Home was theatrically released on February 15, 1978, to critical and commercial success. Reviewers praised its direction, screenplay and performances, while the film grossed $36 million worldwide against its $3 million budget, becoming the 15th highest-grossing film of 1978. It also premiered at the 1978 Cannes Film Festival, where it competed for the Palme d'Or, with Voight winning the Best Actor Prize.

In 1968 California, Sally, a loyal and conservative military wife, is married to Bob Hyde, a captain in the United States Marine Corps, who is about to be deployed to Vietnam. As a dedicated military officer, Bob sees the deployment primarily as an opportunity for career progress. At first, Sally dreads being left alone, but after a while, she feels liberated. Forced to find housing away from the base, she moves into a new apartment by the beach and buys a sports car. With nothing else to do, she decides to volunteer at a local Veterans Administration (VA) hospital, partially inspired by her bohemian friend Vi Munson, whose brother Billy has come home with grave emotional problems after just two weeks in Vietnam and now resides in the VA hospital.

Sally and Luke eventually make love, confronting his handicap, with Sally experiencing her first orgasm. However, she does not seek a divorce from her husband, and both she and Luke know that their relationship will have to end when Bob returns home. Bob does return, too soon, claiming that he had accidentally wounded himself in the leg. He is also suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder stemming from what he has seen in combat. Bob discovers Sally's affair from Army Intelligence, who have been spying on Luke since the gate incident, and both Sally and Luke agree that Sally should try to patch things up with Bob. Bob loses control, confronting the lovers with a loaded rifle, but ultimately turns away. Bob places his neatly folded Marine dress uniform on the beach, takes off his wedding ring, and swims naked out into the ocean to commit suicide.

In 1972, Fonda hired Nancy Dowd, a friend from her days in the feminist movement, to write a script about the consequences of the war as seen through the eyes of a military wife.[3] Originally, Dowd's story, tentatively titled Buffalo Ghosts, focused on two women, volunteers at a veterans' hospital, who must come to grips with the emotional toll that the war takes on its casualties and their families. The project dragged on for six years until Gilbert and producer Jerome Hellman took it. The screenplay was reshaped significantly by the circle of talent who eventually brought it to the screen: Fonda, Ashby, Wexler, Jon Voight, producer Hellman and screenwriters Waldo Salt and Robert C. Jones. They were united by their opposition to the Vietnam War and by their concern for the veterans who were returning to America and facing difficulties adapting to life back home. Rudy Wurlitzer contributed uncredited work to the script.[4]

Hal Ashby was next sent the script, who agreed to direct the film. Fonda was cast from the beginning as Sally Hyde, the housewife. A top box-office star was sought for the male lead to offset the grim nature of the story. Al Pacino, Jack Nicholson and Sylvester Stallone were all offered the part, but declined.[7] Jon Voight had been considered for the role of the husband, but after becoming involved with the film, he campaigned to play the paraplegic veteran. Voight had participated in the anti-war movement and was a friend of Fonda, who was instrumental in helping him land the role, even though he had fallen from popularity since his Midnight Cowboy heyday. Bruce Dern, long stereotyped in sadistic roles, was chosen as the husband. The screenplay was written and rewritten until the project could wait no longer. Jane Fonda, who just finished Julia (1977), was soon to star in Alan J. Pakula's Comes a Horseman (1978). For director Ashby, this was his second film about the 1960s, in addition to his 1975 film Shampoo.

From 2018-2020, Coming Home formally partnered in, or consulted on, the creation of 25 new housing units for persons without a home. In 2023, it is in various stages of development of 24 more units for persons without homes.

Phoebe comes home from college this weekend, which means the band will be back together again\u2026or well, it will be at least until both of the girls take off again for their summer jobs in a few days. (Repeat to self: This is the way it\u2019s supposed to work. This is the way it\u2019s supposed to work.) It also means that I need to make sure the Coming Home Dinner is an A-plus situation \u2014 one of the things I\u2019m already missing so much about my house (even though we don\u2019t move for a few months!) are the long-and-lingering string-lighted summer dinners on the patio. I do not want to waste a single one. So after some serious back-and-forth on the family group chat, here\u2019s the line-up (+ shopping list) we came up with\u2026

Isabella has been interred here with me, scratching the back of my neck, shaving me, filing my toenails, reading to me, feeding me \u2013 she says it\u2019s okay if I don\u2019t mention everything \u2013 as well as listening to me complain about my situation. This situation is coming to an end and another situation \u2013 perhaps an even more uncomfortable one; we just don\u2019t know, we will find out - will be replacing it. I will be going in a taxi, then in an airplane, then in another taxi. I\u2019m going to a hospital in West London, followed by another hospital in West London, followed by another facility just outside London. Nothing happens for months, then everything happens at once and you seem to have little idea of what\u2019s going on. You, dear reader, will be kept informed. There will be many adventures ahead.

It was designed and built for the Stanton family way back when and, rumor has it, Mrs. Stanton taught children from all over the county how to swim in the pool in the backyard. Which brings me to one of our first, big home pool improvement-related project. About a year after we moved in, the liner kicked the bucket and we replaced it with the Grey Mosaic liner by Latham Pools.

Hello! I just left you a comment on Instagram asking if you had moved and here is the answer. I know you loved your other house and worked so much on your in-laws home. Had you been actively looking or did the new place fall into your laps at a perfect time? Anyway congratulations!

Welcome back! I periodically check your blog to see if I missed a post. Today I found one! I have wondered how you were doing, personally and in your new home. Selfishly wishing you would take us on your journey in your new life. So happy you are doing well!

I have been a fan since since since before you and Kevin adopted Stevenson. While I love reading your blog and I love your style I appreciate that you take care of yourself and your family. I have a dear family member who has Anxiety and Panic disorder and it breaks my heart to see her suffer. I am facing my second surgery in 7 months that will keep me home bound for three months again. I look forward to ordering your book and reading it this fall. Wishing you well.

When her husband (Bruce Dern) goes off to fight the war, though, she finds herself on her own for the first time in her life. There's no home, no high school, no marriage, no Officers' Club to monitor her behavior. And she finds herself stepping outside the role of a wife and doing ... well, not strange things, but things that are a little unusual for her. Like buying a used sports car. Like renting a house at the beach. Like volunteering to work in the local Veterans' Administration hospital. That's where she meets Luke (Jon Voight), so filled with his pain, anger, and frustration. She knew him vaguely before; he was the captain of the football team at her high school. He went off to fight the war, came home paralyzed from the waist down, and now, strapped on his stomach to a table with wheels, uses canes to propel himself furiously down hospital corridors. In time, he will graduate to a wheelchair. He has ideas about Vietnam that are a little different from her husband's.

They do eventually make love, confronting his handicap in a scene of great tenderness, beauty, and tact. It is the first time Sally has been unfaithful. But it isn't really an affair; she remains loyal to her husband, and both she and Luke know their relationship will have to end when her husband returns home. He does, too soon, having accidentally wounded himself, and discovers from Army Intelligence what his wife has been up to. The closing scenes show the film at its most uncertain, as if Ashby and his writers weren't sure in their minds how the Dern character should react. And so Dern is forced into scenes of unfocused, confused anger before the film's not very satisfying ending. It's too bad the last twenty minutes don't really work, though, because for most of its length "Coming Home" is great filmmaking and great acting. ff782bc1db
