Like, you know?
Sean McCannHOST
People, people can remember, uh, Paths of Glory, a Stanley Kubrick film, where the general was telling, the, the higher general was telling the commander or whatever, um, "Well, we're gonna take this hill.
Sean McCannHOST
And it's, you know, we just gotta take this hill.
Sean McCannHOST
The, uh, you know, morally we, we gotta have some wins or whatever, and we gotta give them, you know, some win." And, and it's like, "Well, the, it'll kill like 70% of the, of the regiment." And the guy's like, "Yeah.
LeeHOST
But if someone comes up to you, you know, and just shoots you in the back of the head, you're not going to feel it, are you, at all, or know about it, necessarily.
DaveHOST
One of the most horrible firing squad scenes in a film, of course, is Paths of Glory, which is... tremendous film i don't know if you've seen it the stanley kubrick first world war film

DaveHOST
Glory.
Scout TafoyaGUEST
Um, and, you know, Anthony Mann probably directed about, you know, 10 minutes of Spartacus, um, and then, you know, went to make the equally, in my opinion, stultifying other period epics, um, El Cid and Fall of the Roman Empire.
Scout TafoyaGUEST
So, you know, not a million miles away from Spartacus, and definitely, I think the, the kind of movie that Kubrick wouldn't have made if he wasn't trying to get out of his contract with, uh, with Kirk Douglas, where they had signed an agreement to work together, and Paths of Glory had been their first, uh, collaboration, which is a, you know, a wonderful film, um, that I, I take it was something of a nightmare [laughs] to get made.
Scout TafoyaGUEST
And, uh, Kubrick and Douglas didn't really get along.
Scout TafoyaGUEST
Their temperaments were very different.
Jessica PickensGUEST
so I can't speak to that, but.
Brandon DavisHOST
Yeah, fif- yeah, '57 he thinks 'cause, you know, you had movies like Paths of Glory, you had movies like A Face in the Crowd, you had movies like 12 Angry Men.
Brandon DavisHOST
Um-
Jessica PickensGUEST

Jimmy HarrisSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Calder Willingham, myself and Stanley, uh, Dick Anderson, Marty Ritt.
Ben MankiewiczHOST
Dick Anderson was Richard Anderson, one of the actors from Paths of Glory, and Marty Ritt, that was Martin Ritt, director of films like Hud and Norma Rae.
Jimmy HarrisSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Anyways, Stanley was a pretty good poker player.
Jimmy HarrisSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
You know, he was a great chess player from what I understand, but, but he was a pretty good poker player.
17 MINS LATER
Michael DouglasSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
What I didn't understand was that his sleepy appearance belied a man who was always awake, always thinking." [pensive music]
Ben MankiewiczHOST
Kirk was one of Stanley's biggest boosters in Hollywood.
Ben MankiewiczHOST
It was Kirk Douglas's star power that got Paths of Glory green-lit, but that was Stanley's movie Spartacus belonged to Kirk, which meant Stanley now worked for Kirk.
Ben MankiewiczHOST
It was not easy on either of them.
Jay LedbetterHOST
A scene whose finale has sort of a, a, a scene of intense empathy for the so-called enemy in the way that kinda the entirety of, um, Letters From Iwo Jima does.
Jay LedbetterHOST
I went with Stanley Kubrick's Paths of Glory.
Jay LedbetterHOST
Uh-
