Post-war films in the US were noticeably darker than other post-war films in other countries and were more critical of society. This was because the war was a very depressing time for America and this depressing mood was reflected in certain films. Certain genres such as musicals, westerns, and Biblical epics were popularized during this era. This was not the case in other countries. For example, neorealism films were popular in Italy.

One notable post-war film is "A Foreign Affair" (1948)

Another notable post-war film is "The Search" (1948)
