A Truly Moving Film. Frank Borzage's films puzzle me in many respects. I can't figure out how he manages to move us but he does. I've seen all the often-quoted films - "Three Comrades", "Mortal Storm", "Man's Castle", "Seventh Heaven" - on more than one occasion and yet each time I am truly moved.
I first caught "No Greater Glory" at the Cinematheque in Paris with a friend when we were studying film. The audience was actually moved to tears! We're talking here about a French audience, a foreign language film not particularly well dubbed on film, an era never experienced by the young audience present at the time and performances by child actors unknown for the most part.
Yes, the context in the film was European as were the names and places but the situation was Depression-era America, let there be no doubt about that, as were the actors and production staff.
I'm still amazed why and how it worked its magic. The young actors are never "cute", the lines in the film are more adult than child-like, the performances quite adequate but with no pulling-out-all-the-stops Academy Award-winning emoting.
In short, it doesn't "feel" like a manipulative movie in any traditional sense of the word, yet we are manipulated by Borzage's hatred of war in general and his remarkable compassion and sincerity in translating his feelings onto the screen. This film is an absolute must! Curtis Stotlar. Details Edit. Release date March 30, United States. United States. That was another game before it's time. It's one of those game where you had to be dedicated to playing it.
Quite fun for it's day. Post : 6. Post : 7. I had it when I had an Amiga Good game. Post : 8. It is hard to believe that was 27 years ago! If I remember correctly, the guy who designed the game was an authority on American Civil War history. One of the things that sticks in my mind is the awful choices Lincoln had to make when selecting members of his cabinet. I believe it may have been better to consider it an "edutainment" title rather than a normal PC game.

Someone mentioned it's on this site, but I'm not seeing it? WK 0 point DOS version. JB2 2 points DOS version. I would love to see the game manual if anyone has it. Is it posted somewhere online? If not I would love an emailed copy jwblsu yahoo. I can't find it anywhere. This is one of the best strategy games every made btw.
Never mind, I figured out the executable. I do have the manual from about 20 years ago if anyone is curious as to any minutia. The play page for this abandonware site has it. Mike S 0 point. Chuck 2 points.
