In 1930, James Whale directed an eponymous film based on the play, starring Colin Clive, David Manners and Ian Maclaren. Osborne describes the madness of war when describing how German soldiers allowed the British to rescue a wounded soldier in no man's land, while the next day the two sides shelled each other heavily. It shows the horrors of war and the rough and tough life spent inside dugouts without glorifying it in any way. Reginald Tate starred as Stanhope, with Basil Gill as Osborne, Norman Pierce as Trotter, Wallace Douglas as Raleigh, J.

Stanhope, massively brutalized by the war, manages to convince Hibbert to stay, even at the point of threatening to kill him.

Stanhope is in a relationship with Raleigh's sister and is worried that, in the letter, Raleigh will reveal Stanhope's growing alcoholism.This very rare copy is SIGNED by one of the adapters/translators - VIRGINIA VERNON - who adapted the play into French.
