Date Sold 8/20/2017 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. 6 Original Vintage Theatrical 8" x 10" [20 x 25 cm] Movie Stills (Learn More) All Quiet on the Western Front, the classic 1930 Lewis Milestone (winner of the Best Director Academy Award for this movie) World War I (WWI) anti-war military melodrama ("At last... The motion picture!"; "Universal all talking picture"; from the equally classic novel by Erich Maria Remarque; the movie is from the point of view of German soldiers, and is rabidly anti-war, both of which made the movie very controversial!; winner of the Best Picture Academy Award) starring Lew Ayres (billed as "Lewis Ayres"), Louis Wolheim (who would have won the Best Supporting Actor Academy Award had there been one in 1930!), John Wray, Arnold Lucy, Ben Alexander, Scott Kolk, Owen Davis Jr., Walter Rogers (billed as "Walter Brown Rogers"), William Bakewell, Russell Gleason, Richard Alexander, Harold Goodwin, Slim Summerville, G. Pat Collins, Beryl Mercer, Yola d'Avril (as the French girl Ayres romances by giving her food), and Raymond Griffith. Note that Zasu Pitts was set to appear in the film, but in early screenings, audience members laughed due to her comedienne status, so she was replaced with Beryl Mercer who later appeared in The Public Enemy! Also note that the one-sheet for this classic movie showed a battle-scarred soldier close up. Many people incorrectly assumed that it is Lew Ayres, the star of the movie. It was actually Walter Browne Rogers, and he was chosen as a "haunted unknown soldier", and in the movie his character is killed early on (and we have seen an article that quotes Lew Ayres as saying that he hoped Rogers would get a break out of this, but Rogers made no more movies after this!).
