The picturization of Erich Maria Remarque’s heart rous- ing novel about conditions in Ger- many after the war has been six years on the way. The perspective time has added new values to his I which are brought into strong relief through the medium of the camera. Because of what he wrote in “The Road Back,” Remarque was exiled from his native land, so strongly did his book stir national feeling The author saw the unrest grow- ing, faw the revolution that fol- lowed food riots, saw returned sol- diers facing the trap of starvation. Remarque saw the wives whose husl ds never came back; saw the sweethearts who did not wait for the return of the men they had promised to marry. He saw turmoil, human drama being lived day. He put into his setory, Road Ba everything that he saw He described the emotions of vib- rant flesh-and-blood people. The characters were ready to step out of the book and into a movie set. For six years Universal held the story, until the time was ripe for “The Road Back” to be shown in theatres (hroughout the country. Then James Whale was assigned to direct the picture. He had previ- ously done an excellent job with a number of movies, including “Show Boat” and “Journey’s End.” R.
