Today’s scene that I love comes from 1957’s Paths of Glory. In this scene, Colonel Dax (Kirk Douglas) fights a losing battle to save the lives of three soldiers who have been accused of cowardice after refusing to take part in a suicidal attack during World War I.
Douglas not only starred in this film but his also production company also helped to finance it. The film was co-written and directed by Stanley Kubrick.
