  • Considering that this film deliberately avoids battle scenes in order to concentrate on the impact of The Great War on the lives of non-combatants, the most striking sequence is the opening recreation of the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand in Sarajevo.

    The film later has its moments, but thereafter tends to drag.
  • How on earth could they make a film about the First World War without featuring the trenches.You look at All Quiet On The Western Front and see an immortal rendering of the suffering.Brunei forgot that you don't have to show war to glorify it.No wonder Brunels career petered out.
