Paths of Glory

1957 · War, Drama, History

At 41% across 27 head-to-head matchups, Paths of Glory is still building its BingeBracket record. Kirk Douglas marching through those trenches is early Kubrick at his most furious — a film so angry about the machinery of war that it was banned in France for eighteen years. That moral conviction translates directly into voter loyalty. Voters pick in 1.8s on average — well under the 3.5s platform norm.

Synopsis

A commanding officer defends three scapegoats on trial for a failed offensive that occurred within the French Army in 1916.
