The Other Side (German: Die andere Seite) is a 1931 German War movie directed by Heinz Paul. The young Lieutenant Raleigh (Wolfgang Liebeneiner) is transferred to the company of the disillusioned Captain Stanhope (Conrad Veidt). Stanhope is secretly raffled with Raleigh's sister and versed the image of the model officer. An advance against the German lines, in which also Raleigh participates, becomes a bloody fiasco. Raleigh now recognizes the horrors of war, which have also worn down Stanhope. This is the second adaption of R. C. Sherriff's novel of the same name after the British-American film the previous year.
