This film was surprisingly good as evidenced by the other user comments shown here.I know how frustrating it is to know you know someone's name but cannot bring it readily out of the brain archive into the live active part.Some time ago I could not think of the name of that great Victorian art critic, John Ruskin, even though I knew of his identity so that I used a mnemonic trick to always remember his name in case I needed to quote him at my art class.
The script was intelligent highlighting the unmentionable things soldiers have to witness in wartime.As the WW1 song lyric goes, "...they'll never believe us , they'll never believe us".Richard Arlen who played Johnny March gave a sensitive performance as the amnesiac soldier and no, I won't provide a spoiler how it resolves in the end.He meets all of the relatives of the dead U.S. soldiers his commanding officer advised he served with in the hope of establishing his true identity.I was glad to see this on Youtube for the first time especially as I was born in 1946 about the time this film was made when some great WW11 post war stories were being produced.7/10.
