The Road Back (film)
''The Road Back'' is a 1937 drama film made by Universal Pictures, directed by James Whale. The screenplay is by Charles Kenyon and R. C. Sherriff from the eponymous novel by Erich Maria Remarque.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Road Back )〕 Combining a strong anti-war message with prescient warnings about the dangers of the rising Nazi regime, it was intended to be a powerful and controversial picture, and Universal entrusted it to their finest director, James Whale.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Road Back (1937) - Trailers, Reviews, Synopsis, Showtimes and Cast - AllMovie )〕
The novel on which the film is based was banned during Nazi rule. When the film was made, Universal Pictures was threatened with a boycott of all their films by the German government unless the anti-Nazi sentiments in the script were watered down. Carl Laemmle and his son, Carl Laemmle, Jr., the former heads of Universal, had recently been ousted by a corporate takeover. The new studio heads, fearing financial loss, caved in to German pressure and the film was partially reshot with another director, and the remainder extensively re-edited, leaving it a pale shadow of Whale's original intentions. To the director's further displeasure, writer Charles Kenyon was ordered to interject the script with comedy scenes between Andy Devine and Slim Summerville, which Whale found unsuitable.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Road Back (1937) - Notes - TCM.com )〕 Disgusted with the studio's cowardice under its new management, Whale left Universal after completing ''Wives Under Suspicion'', an unsuccessful remake of his own ''The Kiss Before the Mirror''. He returned two years later to direct ''Green Hell'', but never made another film for Universal after that.〔
In the film ''Gods and Monsters'', Whale (played by Ian McKellen) speaks of his hatred of making ''The Road Back'', the film he intended to be the crowning achievement of his career.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Ci-Cl Archivo )〕
