    About this product

    Product Information

    PATHS OF GLORY is among the most powerful antiwar films ever made. The story takes place in 1916 France, as the French command orders an exhausted unit to wrest control of an anthill from the Germans--expecting a casualty rate of 60 percent. The battle--during which the Germans are never seen, indicating that the French are their own worst enemy--turns into a bloody massacre. Looking for a scapegoat, General Mireau (George Macready) orders Colonel Dax (a never-more-intense Kirk Douglas) to select three of his men to face a court-martial and possible firing squad for the troops' cowardice. Directed by Stanley Kubrick, PATHS OF GLORY, based on the novel by Humphrey Cobbs, is a gut-wrenching, unforgettable drama. Every scene is awash in grays, covered in doom. Kubrick marvelously contrasts the ornate palace where the generals sip their cognac with the ramshackle trenches where injured men stumble about, demoralized and shellshocked. Douglas gives a tough, gritty performance; his tense sparring with the high command features sharp, biting dialogue. The entire cast is outstanding; watching so many men die for no reason is maddening. Kubrick captured the Vietnam War in FULL METAL JACKET, the cold war in DR. STRANGELOVE, the Seven Years' War in BARRY LYNDON, and a slave uprising in SPARTACUS, but PATHS OF GLORY is his crowning achievement when it comes to depicting the devastation, both physical and psychological, that war wreaks on the individual--as well as the state.

        Unusual title for a court-martial

        Good film depicting how the trench war wore men down until they couldn't take it anymore. The the officers who sat in comfortable settings, drinking wine, and pointing at a map concluded they should take this or that. They had no idea of what the soldiers endured.

        horrible movie

        This looks like a movie made in 1950 about soldiers who must fight a war they don't believe in and under the command of complete idiots, I cannot believe that a very good director like Stanley Kubrick did such a terrible movie, plus it's in black and white, if it was in color - as is natural in these times - the movie might have few positives, but as it is, it's really horrible, I threw away my money by buying it and if I gift it to someone else, I only do to upset the receiver.

      • A Work of Cinematic Art.

        This is a powerful War Drama that takes place during World War 1, known at the time as The Great War. It is an artistic, cinematic and directorial gem directed by Kubrick. I limited my rating to 4 stars more due to the depressing nature of the true events that the movie dep8cts, than the quality of the film.

      • Great film

        If you're looking for a fun, lighthearted movie, this is NOT for you. It is, however, a poignant cinematic masterpiece. Like many of Kubrick's films, it has an anti-war theme. Shot in gritty black & white, and boasting of some of the finest camera work you'll ever see, this film also includes some wonderfully powerful performances.
