Four-Star Films : ‘Paths of Glory’
The young Stanley Kubrick transformed Humphrey Cobb’s famous anti-war novel--about a petulant World War I French general who, after a failed attack, orders the execution of his own troops--into a grimly amusing and tense 1957 classic of military madness. With Kirk Douglas, Ralph Meeker, Adolphe Menjou, George Macready and Timothy Carey. Co-written by Calder Willingham and Jim Thompson. (Yes, that Jim Thompson.) (TMC Friday at 6:15 a.m.)
