Subject: RE: Does anyone remember this film?
"Paths of Glory", starring Kirk Douglas, is one of the best antiwar films ever made. Three French soldiers are picked at random to be executed for cowardice; KD attempts to defend them. They're shot, of course, and at the end there's a very moving scene where a captured German girl is made to sing for the soldiers. She strikes up "Der Treu Hussar", a very poignant song, and gradually the weary soldiers join in. The film was I think banned in France.
