Fellini's E La Nave Va (And the Ship Sails ON), though it is rather
metaphoric and sardonic rather than strictly historical.

> She doesn't want a war film, so La Grande Illusion, All Quiet, The Big
> Parade, Paths of Glory et al won't work.  A film like The Remains of the
> Day, set pre-World War I, might work, but even that might be too explicitly
> war linked.  Any suggestions?
