Unlike most "message" films which date themselves almost immediately, Lewis Milestone's low-key unpolished and 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 mobilising 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 and we fight. We try not to be killed - that's 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 and 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; and the final shot of the soldier's hand reaching for the butterfly.

The sound era was barely two years old when Lewis Milestone unleashed this extraordinary masterpiece on an unsuspecting public. For one of the abiding memories you take from 'All Quiet' is the constant bombardment of artillery; it really helps you understand how some of these poor young volunteers into the German army in the First World War went crazy. Surprisingly graphic for its age, it's full of numerous moments which linger in the mind, of which its hopeless ending is probably the most powerful.

This has been immaculately restored on Blu ray for Universal's 100th anniversary and this is the version you should be checking out because the restoration looks amazing for a film that's over 80 years old.
