    Storyline

    Edit
    • Trivia
      With the loss of limbs and gory deaths shown rather explicitly, this is undoubtedly the most violent American film of its time. This is because the Production Code was not strictly enforced until 1934 and also because Universal Pictures deemed the subject matter important enough to allow the violence to be seen. The scene where a soldier grabs a strand of barbed wire and then is blown up by an artillery shell, leaving only his hands still grabbing the barbed wire, was told to director Lewis Milestone by a former German soldier working as an extra, who saw that happen during a French attack on his position during the war. Milestone used it in the film.
    • Goofs
      When Paul talks to the dead soldier in the pit, the soldier is breathing visibly and at one point his eyes blink.
    • Quotes

      Paul Bäumer: You still think it's beautiful to die for your country. The first bombardment taught us better. When it comes to dying for country, it's better not to die at all.

    • Crazy credits
      Later reissues of the film mentioned that the film was an Academy Award winner in the opening credits.
    • Alternate versions
      The Library of Congess also restored a sound version, 133 minutes long, which is the version occasionally shown on American TV.

    Great WW1 movie
    World War 1 and a young German, Paul Baumer, enthusiastically joins the Army. With romantic notions of war and idealistic dreams in his head he undergoes training and then is sent off to the Western Front. In due course the romantic notions are replaced by the harsh reality of war and he becomes disillusioned with it all.

    Great World War 1 movie, made when the war was still fresh in everyone's minds.

    Might well be the first anti-war war movie, as it depicts the grim realities of war, rather than the romantic, heroic non-existent version of it.

    Harrowing, shocking, original, unpredictable, and just as relevant today as in 1930.

    Surprisingly good production values for 1930.

    Solid performances all round.

    Far far better than the 1979 remake.
