Carta escrita pelo pintor Andrew Wyeth para Vidor:

“For years I have wanted to write and tell you that I consider your war film The Big Parade the only truly great film ever produced. Over the years I have viewed the film many, many times and [with] each showing the certainty of its greatness deepens… I have always viewed it with awe and must tell you that in many ab­stract ways it has influenced my paintings.”
