Directed by a 28-year-old Stanley Kubrick and based on the novel by Humphrey Cobb, Paths of Glory tells the story of an ill-fated assault on German forces by French soldiers in WWI, and the wretched consequences those soldiers face when they disobey orders. Starring Kirk Douglas and featuring an appearance by Christiane Kubrick.
Commanding officer General Broulard (Adolphe Menjou) orders his subordinate, General Mireau (George Macready), to attack a German trench position, offering a promotion as an incentive. Though a suicide mission, Mireau commands his own subordinate, Colonel Dax (Kirk Douglas), to plan the attack. When it ends in disaster, General Mireau demands the court-martial of three random soldiers in order to save face.
