New print! Arguably the greatest World War I film ever made, with one of cinema’s most memorable musical finales. A French colonel (Kirk Douglas) defends his men after a suicidal assault, only to face the full force of military hierarchy. A call against arms and a rebuke of the officer class, Paths of Glory boasts a “striking blend of formal brilliance, economical storytelling and emotional directness” (Tom Dawson). Introduction by James Hatch. 35mm print from the Yale Film Archive.
