Wissenswertes
According to official sources, 20 million tickets for this film were sold (in the UK) in the first 6 weeks. That would equal about half the population of Britain at the time (43 million). It has been said that this record was not broken until the release of Star Wars: Episode IV - Eine neue Hoffnung (1977) more than 60 years later.

Patzer
In the "over the top" sequence one of the "dead" soldiers turns his head towards the camera and then shifts his leg into a more comfortable position showing that the scene was staged/re-enacted.

100 Years On-Lest We Forget

Yes some of these scenes were "Re-Enacted" for Propaganda/Enlistment purposes but let's not forget that every single soldier in this Movie, Documentary call it what you will are now dead, Most probably died at that time in that place or in later battles. Much footage was cut from the public version, as the War Office wanted the film to contain images that would support the war effort and raise morale.

It still manages to portray the horrors of war and its utter futility, did we learn our lesson

No,no we didn't

This is a remarkable piece of Cinema that has now passed from living memory

Lest We Forget
