Programmed as part of the WW1 Centenary. Cosponsored by the French and Italian Department.

King Vidor's powerful WWI silent is epic in every sense of the word, from its battle scenes and emotional impact to its huge box-office success. When war breaks out, a wealthy Southerner enlists, finding horror, friendship and love on the Western Front. Today, the film remains a heartfelt but shrewdly judged blend of comedy, romance, action and tragedy. A meticulous 2013 restoration, featuring the incredible 1988 Carl Davis score, returns this American classic to glorious life. D: King Vidor, US, 1925, 140m
