...Parade. Easily the greatest war picture, one of the greatest of all pictures, has been written by Laurence Stallings (coauthor of What Price Glory); directed by King Vidor; and principally played by John Gilbert and Renee Adoree.

It argues the old theme of a man's work and a man's wife, and how much time he should give to each. It takes Christine (Florence Vidor) three husbands to reach her decision...
