RiIP Kirk Douglas 1916-2020! Another absolutely brilliant speech by Kirk Douglas from the movie Paths Of Glory 1957! Such a wonderful actor he was one of the best of all time feeling very sad today!😞😢🙏💐🎬🎞️🎥⚔️🔫
Kirk Douglass was without a doubt, one of the finest actors in cinematic history. My Mount Rushmore for actors would be Kirk Douglass, Bert Lancaster, Jack Nicholson and Richard Widmark.
Powerful film, One of Kubrick and Douglas's all time greats, Richard Anderson (who later went on to play The Six Million Dollar Man's boss Oscar Madison a couple of decades later on TV) is also superb as the prosecutor. (although you don't see him here)
@actonbath which actor do you mean? ralph meeker was in the navy, timothy carey wasn't in the air force either and joseph turkel definitely isn't buried in arlington (i hope not anyway- he's not dead)
@skuterixas91 I assume you like the film? Actually I think it was quite well made, and I'm a big Kirk Douglas fan.... when I said "horrible movie" I just meant thematically it was very dark and depressing. I suppose that could be misinterpreted
@actonbath ah- i've just seen your other comment where you named him- wayne morris. i was confused at first, as although his character is a coward, he isn't court martialled for it. (he's the one kirk douglas orders to officiate at the execution, right?) i didn't know that stuff about him, that's interesting. and he's very good in this film.
Quite an ego on you, buddy. Also, I never said it was an anti-war film, only that it was more effective than any other anti-war film I've ever seen. Whether it was intended to be or not, its surprisingly effective as an anti-war film.
Saw this film for the first time last week. Absolutely brilliant and this scene with Douglas is outstanding.
Wow, me too! I finally watched this movie over the weekend. It's brilliant.

Douglas is one of the best actors alive.
Especially his work in this movie places him at the top.
Nice! One of the 10 best American films ever produced.
Aw, GOD ! Magnificent performance by Douglas !
Kirk was awesome in this, like many of his movies.

Watching this scene makes me wonder, how -- how in the world is Kirk Douglas still alive?
@je5752
True that.
Michael as got some catching up to do

How so?
@skuterixas91 no prob haha
Fine. It's not an anti-war film. Still works well as one.
Try Bergman's SHAME.
Nope
Lambs to the slaughter, end of story. Good direction, but not a terribly good script.
horrible movie but superbly acted.
