It won the Best Picture [[UsefulNotes/AcademyAward Oscar]] and is often considered to be the TropeMaker of the modern war drama. It is also one of the first really great sound films, made after Hollywood spent a couple of years struggling with the new medium of talkies. It has a place on the UsefulNotes/NationalFilmRegistry.
