My Four Years in Germany Ratings & Reviews
Chicago Examiner

William Nigh has made his production with a serious care worthy of his material.
Motion Picture News
Peter Milne
Stirring patriotic propaganda.
New York Tribune
Harriette Underhill
The picture is simply history presented in an unusually attractive way, and unless we are much mistaken it is going to fill [theaters] for some time to come.
Los Angeles Times
Antony Anderson
My Four Years In Germany is the motion picture of the hour, of the century. It is momentous history, with almost the power and grip of life itself. It will be treasured in our archives. It will mold millions of Americans into heroic stature.
Chicago Tribune
Mae Tinee
It is a powerful presentation of facts. It hews clean through the heart of the conditions that brought about our present relations with Germany. It is a picture that every man, woman, and high school student should see.
Variety
Joshua Lowe
William Nigh's work, both as director and assembler, will stamp him as a producer of the highest rank.
Los Angeles Times
Grace Kingsley
It hasn't any plot; It hasn't any firecracker battle scenes... Yet it's a thrilling war picture all the same -- with a significance so penetrating, action so vital, truthful events so skillfully welded that It holds you breathless.
Motion Picture Magazine
Hazel Simpson Naylor
[It's] a photoplay of current history which every patriot should see. With dramatic vividness, the facts leading up to our declaration of war with Germany are disclosed. It is a great work, because it will reach the hearts of the people.
Moving Picture World
Edward Weitzel
In My Four Years in Germany the screen presents a valuable historical document that recalls with clearness and unflagging interest the causes that prompted Germany to plunge the world into the present conflict.
Photoplay
Shadow Stage
Its value in the interests of sincere, determined patriotism cannot be exaggerated. William Nigh is the genius of the production -- a combination of fine direction and remarkable assembling and editing.
Washington Post
Wapo Staff
In telling the dramatic story of the history of the last four years... no textbook or lecture could possibly equal in completeness in lasting power or in the recital of the graphic sequence of events the film version of My Four Years in Germany.
Oregonian
Oregonian Staff
How anyone... could view this picture and not be thrilled is beyond conception.
Motography
John G. Payne
The entire cast of principles were exceedingly well chosen and were the counterparts of the original characters whom they impersonated.
Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com
FWST Staff
[The film features] pictures of the soldiers of the allied nations and their indomitable courage and bravery. Pictures of their intrepid fighting and acts of daring cause the audience to applaud almost continuously.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Inquirer Staff
Unvarnished truths pertaining to the present war, and the events which led up to it, are depicted in My Four Years in Germany, the remarkable picture based on and comprising many of the incidents which came to the notice of Ambassador Jambs W. Gerard.
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Post-Dispatch Staff
There are a number of exciting scenes.
Baltimore Sun
Baltimore Sun Staff
The technical work is so extraordinarily fine, and the work of the actors so well balanced, so sincere, that most of the time you feel as if watching the actual events.
New York Post
New York Post Staff
Some stirring pictures show the Allies on the march [and] the British fleet in action.
Washington Star
Star Staff
Painstaking care has reproduced, even to the most minute detail, events of import from the pre-war days, on through to the almost overnight change of front on the part of Germany from a "peace-loving" nation to "the war beast."
