After serving in the trenches of World War I, Jean Diaz recoils with such horror that he renounces love and personal pleasure to immerse himself in scientific research, seeking a machine to prevent war. He thinks he has succeeded, but the government subverts his discovery, and Europe slides with seeming inevitability toward World War II. In desperation, Diaz summons the ghosts of the war dead from the graves and fields of France to give silent, accusing protest. (imdb)

The story feels diffused and the editing clumsy. Almost like anarchy on screen..... but that's why this version serves a very different purpose then it's silent 1919 companion. This time one can hear the anti-war cries. It's 1938 and everyone knows that a new big war is unstoppable. This is anti-war propaganda waking the ghosts of soldiers that fell in the previous war as a last ditch effort to appeal to the human heart that war does not pay..... and it's powerful.
