Another Dawn - DVD

Based on real life war diaries, Before Dawn is an epic retelling of one of Australia's biggest victories during WW1.

Soon, the realities of the muddy, ruthless, and entirely unforgiving war takes it's toll on Jim. As the men in the battalion are whittled away and hope becomes a distant memory, a final chance at redemption at the Battle of the Hindenburg Line, one of Australia's greatest WW1 military victories. Jim must risk death or forever carry the burden of leaving yet another man behind.Director Jordon Prince-WrightCast Ed Oxenbould; Levi Miller; Myles Pollard; Stephen Peacocke; Travis Jeffery

Director Howard Hawks makes his talkie debut with this antiwar classic, an action-packed WWI adventure powerfully told with "a characteristically Hawksian emphasis on professionalism, self-respect and loyalty" (Time Out Film Guide). Tormented over his sending eager young recruits to their deaths, Major Brand (Neil Hamilton) of the 59th British Squadron is heavily criticized by his ace pilots, Dick Courtney (Richard Barthelmess) and Doug

Worried that his nephew Willi (Ramon Novarro) lives beyond his means, General von Hartz (C. Aubrey Smith) urges the young guardsman to marry wealthy Emily Kessner (Karen Morley), so that when he can't pay a debt he won't have to take his own life, as demanded by the guard's code of honor. Ignoring his uncle's wishes, Willi meets and falls in love with Laura Taub (Helen Chandler), a schoolteacher who, offended by his behavior, becomes mistress to the gambler Herr Schnabel ( Jean Hersholt). Hoping to win Laura back by becoming rich, Willi loses a fortune at cards to his rival, who gives him a day to settle the debt, even if it kills him.
