	Movies - Westfront 1918

Westfront 1918 is german silent film director G.W. Pabst's 1930 about World War I in Germany. The film bears many resemblances to the American film All Quiet on the Western Front, but is far more bleak.

It was pioneering in the use of sound, in that it manages to record live sound during complex tracking shots through the trenches.

Some shots from the film were used for scene-setting purposes in a 1937 BBC Television adaptation of the play Journey's End.
