Shoulder Arms Ratings & Reviews
LIFE
Robert E. Sherwood
There has never been anything on the screen so funny as the dug-out scenes in Shoulder Arms; and there has never been anything so unutterably tragic as the delivery of the mail in the front line, when everybody gets a letter but Charlie.
Motion Picture News
P.S. Harrison
It is a picture that will offer splendid entertainment right now.
Movie Views
Ryan Cracknell
Although it's been a long time since 1918, there are still lessons to be learned from Shoulder Arms.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
Charlie gives his version of a recruit's absurd life.
