ALL QUIET ON THE WESTERN FRONT - Lewis Milestone - DVD

Lewis Milestone's adaptation of Erich Maria Remarque's anti-war novel is a masterpiece whose power to disturb remains undiminished by the passage of time. The film stars Lew Ayres as the young Paul Bauman, who, along with a group of his teenaged classmates, are conscripted into the German army during WWI. The youths quickly realise that the patriotic hogwash they had been fed by their schoolmaster has absolutely has nothing to do with the horror they observe and experience on the front lines.

Remake of the all-time great war story based on the pacifist novel by Erich Maria Remarque. The tragic tale of a group of German recruits during World War I. A tough, unromantic story, told from the viewpoint of the ordinary German soldier in the trenches.

Lewis Milestone's epic screen adaptation of Erich Maria Remarque's anti-war novel stars Lew Ayres as one of a group of German teenagers who enlist for World War I after hearing a stirring speech from their professor. They soon discover that war is less about noble ideas and sacrifice than it is about pain, humiliation, suffering and death. Winner of the Best Picture Oscar in 1930.

A renowned, moving and powerful anti-war film, All Quiet on the Western Front is based on Erich Remarque's pacifist novel which depicts the horrors of the Great War from the point of view of the German soldiers. It's all the more effective for showing the mundane deaths and undramatic ordinariness of extreme human situations. A must-see film for anyone who takes war lightly. Winner of the Best Picture Oscar in 1930.

Although Lewis Milestone's 1930 films remains the cinema's definitive version, director Delbert Mann ( Desire Under the Elms , Marty ) has done a workmanlike job bringing the novel to the screen. The scenery and costuming in this period piece are well done, and surely contributed to its winning the Golden Globe for Best Motion Picture Made for TV. Also exceptional are the cinematography and special effects that, while realistically gruesome, truly emphasise the horrors of war. -- Zachary Lively,...

A second film version (the first was Lewis Milestone's classic 1930 version) of Erich Maria Remarque's story about a group of idealistic young Germans recruited to fight on the Western Front in 1914. Amongst their number is the patriotic Paul Baumer (Richard Thomas), whose preconceptions are rapidly shattered upon witnessing the horror of life at the front. Ernest Borgnine, Donald Pleasence and Ian Holm also star.

Richard Thomas stars as Paul Baumer, a teen who, at the urging of zealously patriotic teacher Kantorek (Donald Pleasence) enthusiastically enlists to fight for Germany in WWI, accompanied by several school friends. After training at the hands of the sadistic Corporal Himmelstoss (Ian Holm), Paul and his friends head for the front. There, they discover that war is a bloody, deadly business, although they are heartened by the presence of their commander, wily veteran Stanislaus Katczinsky (Ernest Borgnine...
