Everything you need to know about the three film versions of Erich Maria Remarque's All Quiet on the Western Front. In this episode I discuss Remarque’s experience in the First World War (which would inspire him to write the original novel), the production of Universal’s Best Picture-winning adaptation in 1930, Nazi Germany and the controversy created by the text, the 1979 TV movie directed by Delbert Mann, and finally, the brilliance and improvements in Edward Berger’s newly released picture.
