Starring: Lew Ayres, Louis Wolheim, John Wray, Slim Summerville, William Bakewell
Unlike most "message" films which date almost immediately, Lewis Milestone's low-key, unpolished and deeply-felt screen adaptation of the Erich Maria Remarque anti-war novel has lost little of its original impact. A Best Picture, Best Director Academy Award winner, based on Erich Maria Remarque's timeless anti-war novel. The film follows a group of German recruits during World War I as they pass from patriotism to disillusionment. A film with historic significance.
