A fiery Kirk Douglas (Ace in the Hole, Spartacus) stars as a French colonel serving in World War I who goes head-to-head with the army’s ruthless top brass when his men are accused of cowardice after being unable to carry out an impossible mission. This haunting, exquisitely photographed dissection of the military machine in all its absurdity and capacity for dehumanization (a theme Kubrick would continue to explore throughout his career) is assembled with its legendary director’s customary precision, from its tense trench warfare sequences to its gripping courtroom climax to its ravaging final scene. Review: Good movie - Good movie at a bargan price Review: the greatest, most worthwhile double feature of movies ever - I just treated myself to watching, quite possibly, the greatest, most worthwhile double feature of movies ever: PATHS OF GLORY and Dr. Strangelove (Strangelove NOT on this disc) both directed by Stanley Kubrick. PATHS OF GLORY is agreed by many to be the greatest anti-war movie ever filmed. It looks like a documentary (especially the battlefield and stunning 'bunker' footage) while also acted with top-tier professionalism. PATHS OF GLORY is one of those rare, ahead of its time movies that is/was made so well and is so realized that (you) forget it was released in 1957. It just feels modern and improves upon seeing again. This film is so anti-war and so damaging to the hierarchy of the French military that they banned PATHS OF GLORY from their own viewing public for over a decade. The extras contain many interviews from the 2 minute audio by recluse Kubrick; to the British talk show half-an-hour interview with Kirk Douglass himself via 1979. He is a very proud nice guy. Kirk really is; adding some effective comments about being an artist such as "If you want to tell the truth ... write a novel ... if you want to lie ... write an autobiography ..." Laughs seem genuine from studio audience. There is also a well done essay booklet in this fine Criterion Collection of PATHS OF GLORY (again, Strangelove NOT included) Within this detailed booklet I learned the German girl who is forced to sing to the rowdy French soldiers (WW1) became Stanley Kubrick's wife (Christiane Kubrick also gives ‘extras’ interview). The song she sang in the pub that turned the rowdy soldiers into the solemn reminder that war is not where they want to be is "The Faithful Hussar", a Napoleonic-era song which states "Oh please mother bring a light/ My sweetheart is going to die." Amen French soldiers drink up and leave the poor German girl alone. This is truly classic Kubrick cinema and World War history - as well as movie history - at its best. If a fan of Kubrick you NEED to see this one too. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Contributor | Adolphe Menjou, George Macready, Joe Turkel, Kirk Douglas, Ralph Meeker, Richard Anderson, Stanley Kubrick, Timothy Carey, Wayne Morris Contributor Adolphe Menjou, George Macready, Joe Turkel, Kirk Douglas, Ralph Meeker, Richard Anderson, Stanley Kubrick, Timothy Carey, Wayne Morris See more | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 1,426 Reviews | | Format | Black & White, Blu-ray, NTSC, Special Edition, Widescreen | | Genre | Military & War/Drama, Military & War/World War I | | Language | English | | Runtime | 1 hour and 28 minutes | ## Product Details - **Format:** Black & White, Blu-ray, NTSC, Special Edition, Widescreen - **Genre:** Military & War/Drama, Military & War/World War I - **Language:** English - **Runtime:** 1 hour and 28 minutes ## Images ![Paths of Glory (The Criterion Collection) [Blu-ray] - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81uVo95Jn-L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good movie *by Y***G on May 19, 2026* Good movie at a bargan price ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ the greatest, most worthwhile double feature of movies ever *by A***R on September 12, 2016* I just treated myself to watching, quite possibly, the greatest, most worthwhile double feature of movies ever: PATHS OF GLORY and Dr. Strangelove (Strangelove NOT on this disc) both directed by Stanley Kubrick.
