Editorial Review:
Product Description:
ALL QUIET ON THE WESTERN FRONT (DVD MOVIE)
Amazon.com:
Taken from the novel by Erich Maria Remarque, All Quiet on the Western Front is a devastating portrait by Delbert Mann (Desire Under the Elms, Marty) of a small group of German soldiers throughout the World War I.
The star-studded cast is headed by Richard Thomas (The Waltons) as Paul Baumer, and includes such award-winning actors as Ernest Borgnine, Ian Holm, and Patricia Neal. As both narrator and star, Thomas occasionally seems to reincarnate his familiar John-Boy persona, but creates a character that has many more levels than that television alter ego. Watching Paul as he watches all of his high school buddies die is a highly emotional experience. He returns to his home a different person, conflicted in his feelings about the Army and war, evolving from an idealistic schoolboy to a fearful and humble veteran.
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 contributing to the greatness of the film are the exceptional cinematography and special effects that, while realistically gruesome, truly emphasize the horrors of war. --Zachary Lively

A film adaptation of the book. I have not used this yet with my English 12 classes. I have heard that it is very dark.

Rating: -
War is a terrible expierence regardless of which side you are forced to serve.
This film tells the little known story from the aggressors side; not everything
comes up roses. The ending will tear your heart out.
Rating: -
Richard Thomas at his best , with equally amazing supporting cast. Its the small daily routines and problems that the men of the trenches lived with portrayed in this film that remind you that it was originally written by a german veteran. A must for any fan of platoon/squad level life durring wars that were still fought between huge uniformed armies, intense and hard . I would put this movie on the same level as Das Boot in terms of story telling.
Rating: -
An outstanding timeless classic that reminds us that the old adage of "war is Hell" is true; and true for all sides!
