This is a 1940’s era, black and white movie made by RKO Radio Pictures entitled "The Ramparts We Watch". It features a script by Robert L. Richards and Cedric R. Worth and was produced and directed by Louis de Rochemont. The film (made just before the entry of the USA into WWII) draws parallels between the First World War and the Second.
The story told in this film is that of America during the years 1914-18, as reflected in the lives of various people in a small American city. In 1914, it is a peaceful land, where people go to the picnic grove in open-air street cars, little boys ride on ice wagons and gay blades dance the Hesitation. Then war breaks out in Europe, America slowly begins to feel it. A foreign laborer leaves the small town for his homeland, people talk. Through old newsreel sequences, the course of world events is woven in with developments in the town. The Lusitania is sunk; America is outraged. Opinions clash; there are peace parades and advocates for preparedness. Wilson is re-elected. Training camps are started. There is sabotage in American munitions factories, armed neutrality, then war -- all reflected in the emotions of the townsfolk.
The movie opens with squadrons of planes flying overhead, a suggestion of the coming conflict of WWII. But the movie flashes back to 1914 as Americans prepare to enter the first World War at 2:00.

The climactic sequence of the picture (shown in later reels) points the parallel between events in those days and current happenings, is made up of clips from the Nazi picture, "Feuertaufe," a hideous account of the German invasion of Poland. This is said to be the picture which was shown in Norway and other nations to frighten the intended victims of Nazi aggression. By a brilliant conception of Louis de Rochemont, producer of the film, non-actors were used to play the numerous roles of the townsfolk, thus imparting the illusion of photographed actuality. Through this device, the old newsreel and the fictionized story blend perfectly.
One might reasonably contend that "The Ramparts We Watch" lacks suspense, that it drags in spots. One might hold that it tells a half-truth, that it should have pursued its first purpose. But no one can say that it does not recapture a memorable and poignant phase of our national life, that it fails to remind us effectively of our vital heritage.
