Vidor's stunning antiwar film is one of the classics of silent cinema.Containing realistic, remarkably staged battle sequences and moments of powerful drama, the film follows the enlistment and service of an American soldier (silent-screen great Gilbert) who fights in France in World War I. Though the film was made in the early years of American filmmaking, Vidor has a superior command of the medium, creating scenes that are not only brilliantly constructed but achingly intimate and disturbing.
