A very well done movie well acted a really good Kirk Douglas role

I just happened to be in Best Buy looking for something else when I spotted the DVD bins... regular films, $3.99... Blu Ray films, $4.99 and of course having a personal DVD collection of close to 8000 films, I'm naturally going to gravitate toward those bins. Not surprisingly, I had most of what was being offered, but did manage to snag a few gems, Paths of Glory being one of them. I've always loved Kurt Douglas (Spartacus anyone?), and can you believe as of this review (Jan 16th) he's still alive and kicking at age 102!? I know most people nowadays have switched to streaming and subscription services, but I tend to be old fashioned, and since I have my own theatre, I can enjoy what I want to watch and when to watch them. Paths of Glory really stand out as one of Kurt's finest.

This movie is one for the ages. If you don't pay close attention, you can get lost, or miss something. Stanley Kubrick is well known for these kinds of movies and they are brilliantly told on screen. I would highly recommend that you see this movie, especially, if you are as I am a Stanly Kubrick fan.

Kirk Douglas stars in this film, which is about several soldiers being charged and tried for cowardice during World War I. Douglas represents the men and makes a very strong argument on their behalf. Unfortunately, they are found guilty. This film, which is in black and white, is excellent.

One of the best movies ever. Powerful realism on many levels. Actors at there best, and the feel of the film is gritty and refined at the same time. This is one of my favorite films.
