Also I might add, as for the famous "March of the Dead" sequence at film's end, Gance used real soldiers home on leave from the front -- most of whom were killed within the following weeks. Some titles are taken from real letters written by soldiers to their families.(This movie ranks as one, if not my favorite of all movies).
