…and how to watch this film.
In 1930, at the third Academy Awards ceremony, the war epic “All Quiet on the Western Front” won for outstanding production, and Lewis Milestone won for directing. The first of two big-screen adaptations of Erich Maria Remarque’s novel was the second and final silent film to win the top prize, though according to movie critic Edwin Schallert‘s 1930 review, the Hollywood premiere was anything but silent: Behind the screen at the Carthay Circle Theatre there was a system in place to simulate the sounds of war during the battle scenes.

It may well be called a preachment for peace. No motion picture has presented a bleaker, blacker etching of the horror of war than “All Quiet on the Western Front.” Erich Marla Remarque’s realistic story transcribed to the screen produced a profound impression upon its first audience.
“All Quiet On the Western Front” is one or the great productions of all time. Its battle scenes can be termed magnificent, though they are also fraught with horror.
