Journey's End (1930)

The following year, director James Whale will make Cinematic History with his landmark film staring Colin Clive as Dr. Frankenstein.

Journey's End is a powerful anti-war drama set on the eve of battle, in the trenches of the western front during WWI. A British troop commander no longer believes in the cause for which he fights and is despondent over the thought he is sending young men to a pointless death.
