Review of Johnny Got His Gun (1971) by Roger Ebert for Chicago Sun-Times — 22 Oct 2004
Trumbo has taken the most difficult sort of material -- the story of a soldier who lost his arms, his legs, and most of his face in a World War I shell burst -- and handled it, strange to say, in a way that's not so much anti-war as pro-life.
Perhaps that's why I admire it.
