The film, based on a novel about the 1917 mass army mutinies, was banned for eighteen years in France, so unsparing was Kubrick's indictment of its military (and of the military mind in general).
When authorities forbade Kubrick to shoot GLORY in France, he was forced to make it in Germany.
(Adolphe Menjou and George Macready are the suave hypocrites who sacrifice their soldiers with aristocratic ease.)

The film "Paths of Glory" is set in WWI France in 1916.
"Paths of Glory" is one of three great anti-war films from Stanley Kubrick--the two others are "Full Metal Jacket" and "Dr Strangelove." It's good to see Kirk Douglas in these early roles, as it's very easy to see his power as an actor.
"Paths of Glory" has a deserved reputation as a great anti-war film but I think that director Stanley Kubrick's adaptation of Humphrey Cobb's 1935 semi-fictional novel is a rather specific indictment of both a particular military and a particular war.
