British officers in a trench in World War I.

Sinekatalog’s take

James Whale's adaptation of R.C. Sherriff's play traps British officers in a trench dugout before a German offensive. Colin Clive is outstanding in a tense, claustrophobic and moving portrait of fear and fatalism.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
