Unlike most "message" films which date themselves almost immediately, Lewis Milestones low-key unpolished & deeply-felt screen adaptation of the Erich Maria Remarque anti-war novel has lost little of its original impact. Years after its release it was still being banned in countries mobilizing for war. The plot follows a group of young German recruits in World War I through their passage from idealism to disillusionment. As the central character Paul Baumer (Lew Ayres) declares, " We live in the trenches & we fight. We try not to be killed
- thats all." All Quiet is an anthology of now famous scenes: Ayres trapped in a shell crater with a man he has killed; the first meeting of the recruits & the veterans; infantrymen being mowed down to machine-gun visual rhythms; a moonlight swim with French farm girls; Ayres pacifist speech to his astonished schoolmates; & the final shot of the soldiers hand reaching for a fatal butterfly.
