  • 1 All Quiet on the Western Front

       1930 - США (152 мин: сокр. до 103 мин)
         Произв. U (Карл Леммле-мл.)
         Реж. ЛЬЮИС МАЙЛСТОУН
         Сцен. Джордж Эбботт, Максуэлл Эндерсон, Делл Эндрюз по одноименному роману Эриха Марии Ремарка
         Опер. Артур Эдесон
         Муз. Дэйвид Брокмен
         В ролях Лью Эйрз (Пауль Баумер), Луис Вольхайм (Качински), Джон Рей (Гиммельштосс), Реймонд Гриффит (Жерар Дюваль), Джордж «Слим» Саммервилл (Тьяден), Расселл Глисон (Мюллер), Уильям Бейкуэлл (Альберт), Берил Мерсер (мать Пауля).
       Во время Первой мировой войны несколько юных немцев, записавшись добровольцами сразу же после выпуска из школы, проходят в окопах тяжелое крещение огнем. Пауль Баумер тяжело ранен в бок, но остается жив и возвращается к матери на побывку. Он вновь встречается в классе с учителем, который своими пылкими речами некогда разжег в нем желание пойти на войну. Школьникам, с жадностью ожидающим рассказов о подвигах, Пауль лаконично говорит: «Мы старались, чтобы нас не убили. Вот и все». Его называют трусом. Его отпуск окончен, и он возвращается на фронт. Он замечает, что те, кто, подобно ему, слишком много времени провел в боях, в тылу больше не чувствуют себя как дома. Его товарищи погибли. Опекавший их бывалый солдат тоже ранен; он умирает на плечах у Пауля. Наконец, умирает и сам Пауль; перед смертью он тянется рукой к бабочке, завороженный ее красотой.
        За всю историю американского кинематографа именно этот фильм, поставленный по бестселлеру Эриха Марии Ремарка, с наибольшей силой и эффективностью, если не сказать - с тонкостью, выразил пацифистские и антимилитаристские настроения, путь которым был уже проложен Кингом Видором (Большой парад, The Big Parade, 1926) и Уолшем (Почём слава?, What Price Glory?). Эта крупнобюджетная постановка должна была стать первым проектом фирмы «Universal» после перехода под начало 21-летнего сына Карла Леммле. Проект был сначала предложен Герберту Бренону, затем - Палю Фейошу (который и уговорил фирму выкупить права на фильм) и, в конце концов, оказался в руках Льюиса Майлстоуна. Главная мысль фильма внушается зрителю, в основном, через невероятную подвижность и жестокость (прежде на экране невиданную) рукопашных схваток в начале фильма и, в общем, всех сцен, так или иначе имеющих отношение к смерти (а таких сцен в фильме много). Финал, придуманный Карлом Фройндом (сценаристы и режиссер не знали, как закончить действие), стал хрестоматийным. Впрочем, в картинах смерти своих героев Майлстоун проявляет куда больше виртуозности, чем в картинах из их жизни. Его довольно бесцветный и старомодный стиль делает одинаково скучными все интимные сцены. 152-мин. оригинальная версия (в наши дни встречается крайне редко) через несколько лет после премьерного проката была сокращена до 103 мин. Это сокращение имело 2 последствия; характеры персонажей стали еще схематичнее, а антимилитаризм фильма стал звучать громко, как лозунги с листовки, с преувеличенной силой и свирепостью.
       N.B. Продолжение - Дорога назад (The Road Back, Джеймс Уэйл, 1937): возвращение к гражданской жизни и разочарования выживших героев На Западном фронте без перемен. (Только Слим Саммервилл и его персонаж появляются в обеих картинах).

Неиспользованный финал, написанный Вернером Клингером (немецким актером и режиссером), опубликован в журнале «Experimental Cinema», июнь 1930 г.
