Synopsis by Hal Erickson

Heroes All was a sentimental documentary of the "lest we forget" school. Using carefully chosen newsreel images of WWI, the producers admonish the audience not to forget the men who fought so long and hard to make the world safe for Democracy. The film was narrated by an anonymous commentator, who tended to swallow his words at times, making the continuity difficult to follow for anyone not familiar with the events depicted. As indicated by a long opening and closing title, the film was not so much a paean to our fighting man as a plug for a best-selling New York newspaper. Coincidentally enough, Heroes All was released on Armistice Day, 1931.
