Orizzonti di gloria
Durante la Prima Guerra Mondiale, per uno stupido puntiglio, un generale francese ordina un attacco a una postazione tedesca praticamente inespugnabile. Il colonnello Dax, ufficiale coraggioso e onesto, capisce la follia dell'ordine e cerca di evitare la carneficina, ma, di fronte all'ottusità dei suoi superiori, è costretto a eseguire i comandi. L'assalto, naturalmente, fallisce, ma non è tutto: il tronfio generale fa fucilare tre soldati per vigliaccheria.

"Col. Dax" (Kirk Dougas) is cajoled by "Gen. Broulard" (Adolphe Menjou) into taking his Great War weary regiment on one last mission in occupied France. Frankly, it's little better than a suicide one, but his operational commander "Gen. Mireau" (George Macready) is determined at all costs that they succeed. Let battle commence! Only the French soldiers quickly realise that they are facing a well a…
**A short and objective film, with a clear and still relevant message, as well as a huge performance by Kirk Douglas.** There are several films about World War I, but it is far from being seen by the public as one of the best. In fact, it seems to me a little forgotten today. It is, however, timely and current in its pacifist message in which the greatest absurdity of war is emphasized in a par…
