"The cutting humor of 'What Price Glory,' the eloquence of 'Journey's End,' the pathos of 'All Quiet on the Western Front,' the adventure of 'Hell's Angels,' the sentiment of 'The Big Parade' have all been combined in this truly extraordinary celluloid achievement. Dore Schary rates a vote of thanks from every industryite. " —daily variety
"Here is the big film of the war made since the firing ceased. Hardhitting, realistic and dramatic." -motion picture daily
"From the studio that made the unforgettable 'Big Parade' comes an equally unforgettable 'BATTLEGROUND.' Bold, brash, bawdy, frank, the script furnished by Robert Pirosh is stacked with incident. "
