Gloria y hambre

English audio, versión original (VOSE) · El cine social en el Hollywood Pre-Code

During World War I, working class Tom Holmes and his wealthy friend and superior officer Roger Winston are sent to capture a German soldier, but Roger loses his nerve. Tom completes their objective alone, but is then hit by shrapnel and apparently killed, leaving it to Roger to return the captive to the American lines. Roger's feeble efforts to refuse credit are dismissed as modesty, and he is rewarded with a Distinguished Service Cross.
