History
- 1920s and 1930s
Films made in the
years following
World War I
tended to emphasise
the horror or
futility of warfare,
most notably
The Big Parade
(1925),
All Quiet on the
Western Front
(1930) and
Grand Illusion
(1937), while others
focused on the drama
inherent in the new
technology and
fading
chivalry
of
aerial combat
in films such as
Wings
(1927),
Hell's Angels
(1930) and
The Dawn Patrol
(1930 and 1938
versions).
