We’re approaching the end of July’s theme of GLORY & PROPAGANDA. How appropriate that this month has men carrying guns in every discussion. When you’re a French solider in “The Great War” you gotta keep your head on a swivel, even in them trenches. Then you got these shithead commanding officers who seem to want to throw you on the meat pile quickly. Displays of common sense might seem like cowardice to the guy who doesn’t have to do the bullshit he commands you to do. Is there justice? Perhaps a dramatic turn of events that saves the lives of brave soldiers? Don’t expect that here. People got brass buttons they want to get. Once again, we discuss a Stanley Kubrick feature., the 1957 anti-war film “PATHS OF GLORY” starring Kirk Douglas, Ralph Meeker, Adolphe Menjou, & George Macready. Maybe not the first Kubrick war film you think of but one that is just as essential to the history of war on film. You know we got a link: https://archive.org/details/pathsofglory1957_201908
