excellent film - amazing effects and acting - Westfront 1918 review by sb
Wow! what a great film - an early talky... I think the same year as 'All Quiet on the Western Front'- both seen through German Eyes, but 'Westfront 1918' is less sentimental, though both are great. one of the best 1war movies..
The camera work, effects and set design, costume acting are superb-
we need to see more of these early films-many of them stand up and are better than many films today..
