Paths of Glory is a 1957 American anti-war film by Stanley Kubrick based on the novel of the same name by Humphrey Cobb. It is set during the third year of World War I. The film stars Kirk Douglas as Colonel Dax, the commanding officer of French soldiers who refused to continue a suicidal attack. Dax attempts to defend them against a charge of cowardice in a court-martial. The movie did OK at the box office when it was first released, though it did earn Kubrick much critical praise. However, active and retired soldiers were offended by the way the French military was portrayed and the French government placed enormous pressure on United Artists to not release the film.

Paths of Glory has since taken its place in the list of classic war movies. Its message grows stronger with each passing year. It was especially popular during the Vietnam era. The film was nominated for a BAFTA Award under the category Best Film but lost to The Bridge on the River Kwai. The film also won a Jussi Awards' Diploma of merit. In 1959 the film was nominated for a Writers' Guild of America Award but again lost. During the production and release of the movie, Kirk Douglas experienced significant negative publicity and financial loss for his role in the making of such an anti-war film. Nevertheless, he persisted in his efforts and the film was made and released, to become a movie classic.
