Paths of Glory (1957)

This week on the OETA Movie Club Podcast we discuss Paths of Glory (1957). Commanding officer General Broulard (Adolphe Menjou) orders General Mireau (George Macready), to attack a German trench position during World War I. Though the mission is completely reckless, Mireau commands his own subordinate, Colonel Dax (Kirk Douglas), to plan the attack. When it ends up being a disaster, General Mireau demands the court-martial of three random soldiers in order to avoid humiliation.
