Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaErich Maria Remarque's book was inspired by his own experiences as a German soldier in World War I. Remarque fought in the trenches and the novel is notable for its realistic depiction of the horrors of battle, and the trouble soldiers face during and even after the fighting.
- GoofsBy the end, Germany's delegation to Rethondes appears indignant as the terms and conditions of armistice are quoted by Mathias Erzberger, namely forfeiting submarines, planes, weapons and so on; what is read there was not in the November 11, 1918 capitulation act but was imposed upon Germany next year in the Treaty of Versailles.
- Quotes
Matthias Erzberger: All that's left separating us from an armistice is false pride.

Featured review
A fascinating film with potential that was never fully achieved. "All Quiet on the Western Front" does not rely solely on shock value to disturb its audience; instead, it uses the horrors of war to sober them with facts and dismal realities. The film's story was worth telling; it left an impression long after the credits rolled. It dealt with many weighty themes, including a young man's journey through war, the difficulties of combat, the cruelty of desperation, and the value of friendship and camaraderie, all of which were handled with grace and artistry. Furthermore, it boasted first-rate production values, breathtaking visuals, a terrific score (although maybe a tad bit over the top), and stellar acting. Although there is much to praise about the film, "All Quiet on the Western Front" is ultimately hampered by its drawn-out length, the plot dragging in spots, and several confusing moments. All the pieces were in place for "All Quiet on the Western Front" to be the best picture of the year, and in some respects, it is. Fans of the genre, or anyone who appreciates a well-made film, should not miss this film despite its limitations.
