Journey's End (1930)

Before they made "Frankenstein", James Whale and Colin Clive participated in a film adaptation of R.C. Sherriff's classic WW1 play, "Journey's End". Critically acclaimed at the time, it has become overshadowed by another war film released the same year, "All Quiet on the Western Front". Now unfortunately nearly forgotten, this gripping account of a group of men in a trench deserves another look and a greater appreciation.

thanks so much for uploading this film. I have been looking for it for years and assumed it was lost. It's an essential artifact of the history of WWI, as well as film and theater history.

Thank you so much! I've looked all over to try and find a copy of this movie without success. Cheers! Dan :)

Probably a film or stage company. He did the role on stage, and they may have released him for the film, or perhaps he was under contract to RKO. He did a # of pictures for them. The company loaned him out.

This should definitely be released on DVD, perhaps in Blu-Ray, too! It's such an amazing film, not to mention the book.

@lomion79 ITV holds the rights to the film. So I don't know what they're waiting for!

A wonderful film that holds up well, even today.

Clive is brilliant, I think.

The film should be restored and released on DVD.

All Quiet On The Western Front is hands down the greatest war movie of all time, even though it's set in WW1, its message is timeless, WAR = :(
