TCM
salutes Lew Ayres tonight, and starts off by showing two vintage movies
of note. First up: This 1930 classic, one of the first great sound films
after the transition from silent movies, shown in a newly restored
version. Essentially, it’s the WWI equivalent of Band of Brothers,
throwing us into the foxhole-level action – and, faithfully reproducing
the message in the original novel by Erich Marie Remarque, presenting a
strong anti-war sentiment just a dozen years after that war had ended.
