- Annotation
- Chapter of an overall study of the evolution of the American public memory of the Great War heroes is less on Hemingway and his fellow modernist writers and more on filmmakers whose narratives were informed by their own military service during the conflict in Europe. Subjects undergoing close analysis include directors such as William Wellman and James Whale and the writer Laurence Stallings, co-author of the successful stage play "What Price Glory?" (remade as a film by Raoul Walsh) and screenwriter for The Big Parade, directed by King Vidor. (Neglects to mention Stallings's elusive 1930 stage adaptation of A Farewell to Arms.)
