    Storyline

    • Goofs
      Regimental headquarters are shown to be in Vitry (Vitry-en-Artois) France, and the fighting scene takes place in Nevremont, Belgium. The distance between these two is 154 km (96 mi.) by modern highways. Regimental HQ would be much closer than that in combat. The map in the colonel's office is not nearly to scale, either.

    Very entertaining
    Wonderful movie. I have become tired writing movie reviews, but I had to write this one when I saw that the film had only a 5.9 User Rating. How could that be?

    I chose to watch the film because I am a Hopalong Cassidy fan, who is played by William Boyd, the star of this movie. I had never seen him out of the Cassidy role. My biggest delight was with the actors Lew Cody and Marion Shilling, who was adorable; I have to catch their movies. One of the best parts of the movie was the cinema-photography: the war-time explosions, smoke and noise were great for 1931, and would look likewise today. The film was relatively short time-wise, and it moved along quickly. The anti-war humanitarian theme was the major part of the film, especially the romance, impending marriage and war issues between Boyd (a non-German-American) and Lissy Arna (a German-American). See it, you won't be disappointed.
