Directed by Stanley Kubrick. With Kirk Douglas, Ralph Meeker, Adolphe Menjou, George Macready. After refusing to attack an enemy position, a general accuses the soldiers of cowardice and their commanding officer must defend them.

Another Hollywood glorification of honor and courage, as well as a minor spitting in the eye of a 1% upper crust aristocratic general. Kirk Douglas is great, but this is less than I was expecting.
