The second entry in director Frank Borzage’s “Weimar Trilogy” was adapted from its Erich Maria Remarque source novel by F. Scott Fitzgerald. Margaret Sullavan plays an impoverished young aristocrat who falls in with a trio of disillusioned WWI veterans whose camaraderie has become their refuge from the world. Fitzgerald's script—his only Hollywood screen credit—is suffused with “Lost Generation” nostalgia and a bittersweet vision of love.
