''The Ramparts We Watch'' is a 1940 American
drama film, the first of four full-length features produced by
The March of Time, which was much more well known for the series of
newsreels they produced from 1935 to 1951. The picture was produced and directed by
Louis de Rochemont, from a screenplay by
Robert L. Richards and
Cedric R. Worth, and was distributed by RKO Radio Pictures, who released it on August 16, 1940.
The film used no professional actors, instead relying on residents of the town where most of the filming took place:
New London, Connecticut. It also used footage from a Nazi propaganda film, ''Feuerteufe'' (Baptism of Fire).
