The big parade

The big parade

DVD 2013

The highest-grossing silent film of all time, as well as the first realistic war drama, tells the harrowing story of a young man's front-line experiences in World War I. The film fiercely captures the heroism of the ordinary foot soldier struggling to survive, and how James' determination to return to the village girl he loves faces the ultimate test.
