"The Moving Picture Boys in the Great War" is a compilation documentary narrated by Lowell Thomas, illustrating changing attitudes toward the war and its participants, as well as toward the movies themselves. In 1914 there existed a belief that the role of America was that of a model of peace, democracy and non-involvement in imperialist wars. This documentary shows effective use of media to move U.S. to war and change public opinion. Lowell Thomas, beloved media veteran and former World War I correspondent, recounts with personal warmth and insight the contribution that the budding film industry made to the war effort.The soundtrack features original music from the era, transferred from Edison discs and cylinders borrowed from the Thomas Edison Archives. Winner, Gold Medal, 1975 Chicago Film Festival. (from the container)
