There is a peculiar delight in sitting through a play in which every dialectic skill is used -- where the aptness of language to express character, emotion, the interplay of thoughts gives one a pure joy.

The Spectator
Rating: A+ --
The Big Parade (1925) is director/producer King Vidor's most famous, precedent-setting war film from the silent era. It was the first realistic war drama and has served ever since as an archetypal model for all other war films.

Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
Rating: 4/4 --
Masterfully directed by King Vidor, this swings easily between comedy, romance and tragedy without missing a beat, and there are numerous set-pieces of enormous power -- even today, the harrowing battle scenes would rank among the best ever put on film.
