Are you ready to see Kirk Douglas, directed by a young Stanley Kubrick, in one of the greatest movies you very possibly haven’t heard of? Then get ready for Paths of Glory. Douglas plays Colonel Dax, a French officer who defends four of his soldiers in a court martial initiated for their refusal to participate in a suicide mission. That’s all I’ll say for now; you’re better off just watching the movie. Check out the trailer, then check out the DVD from our collection.
