Summary: don't be fooled
Comment: I have the original from TV that I taped many, many years ago and have used in my classroom for over 20 years. When I ordered the VHS tape a few years back I was shocked by the number of scenes that were deleted in order to condense the movie to one videotape. These scenes were critical to the development of the plot and make a huge difference in following Paul's descent. I was very disappointed because I thought the original was an excellent movie for the classroom.

Summary: all quiet on the western front
Comment: i believe this remake of the black and white film of the 1930's is the superior of the two. The Richard Thomas version is less preachy than the Lew Ayers version. Also, the ending is not "telegraphed" to the viewer as was done in the black and white film. In the Richard Thomas film the end is sudden, a shot from nowhere! I believe thiss adds considerable dramatic impact to the main theme of this story.

Summary: Quality DVD
Comment: I had been using an old VHS version of this movie but it had been worn out after all of the years of viewing...the DVD is good quality considering this was a made-for-tv movie to begin with. Very pleased.

Summary: Quality of DVD
Comment: The movie was great. Very detailed. The story is developed well. It does take creative detours from the book, but that is to be expected. Very touching. However, the quality of the DVD was poor. There were scratches on the DVD and although it played pretty well the first time, it could not play through certain parts of the movie the next few times.

Summary: Greatest War Novel Ever Written
Comment: This movie is drawn from the classic World War I anti-war novel by Erich Maria Remarque. Originally written in German and published in Germany as "Im Westen nichts Neues", it was banned by the Nazis and Remarque was forced to flee Germany. It has been called the greatest war novel ever written, an assesment I would agree with though I might call it more of an anti-war novel.
Remarque knew where-of he wrote. He was in some of the fiercest fighting of World War I and was wounded five times, the last time very severely.
The movie follows the book about as well as any movie can follow a book.
