There is a subtly intriguing moment at the 2:30 mark: Mireau (played by Macready) offers Broulard (Menjou) cognac but declines and says "not before dinner." Judging by the response on Mireau's face he appears to interpret this as affront to his competency; as if he were being judged by Broulard as a weakling who needs liquor to get him through the day. That (along with a possible promotion being dangled at him) spurs Mireau to show his manhood and accept the assignment he just a moment earlier had (correctly) said was ridiculous and out of the question. Broulard was much like a devil who led men into temptation, which caused dire results.

MASTERPIECE!!!

Hi score girl

The French just destroyed the Olympics

The sad part is that in real life things like this have happened in militaries all over the World.

Are these two insane?

Kubrick made a 40k movie before 40k lol

The world has become THE ANTHILL!

1) Genuine outrage. 2) Promotion offered. 3) Fake outrage.

With a little more production value, could have been better!

directed by Alexander Mc Kendrik from the Ealing school of movies he was directing two major actors here pity he never any other major American films

I'd heard how great this film was, pooh-poohed it, finally saw it, and I'm now convinced. An all-time great. This scene... so delicately written and perfectly acted.

We have a cunning plan to do the same as before theyvwill not expect that

Mireau: "The life of one of those soldiers means more to me than all the stars and decorations and honours in France." Also Mireau: Demands that three of them are shot.

Great mix of psychology at work and two men lying their heads of to each other but not calling each other on it. Two other scenes this scene reminds me of - Yes Minister when the BBC man, having just bowed to governemtn pressure states, "The BBC can never bow to government presseure" and Sir Humphrey, who has been the one applying the pressure, responds smiling , "Of course not", Also the scene where Tony Soprano tells Ralph Cifaretto that whatever decision Ralph makes about Jackie Junior will be OK with him no matter what anyone else says.

One of Kubricks best.

Bravo Sam Fuller

The translation sadly doesn't reflect the archaic language and germanisms. And those add another level to the whole movie.

We have the same God but with a different name. 🙏

Some further fun facts about this movie: Kirk Douglas played not only the lead role, but served also as producer of the movie thru his own production company, Bryna-Productions. The movie was completely shot on a pretty tight budget at the Bavaria Studios, Munich-Geiselgasteig and some nearby surroundings in Germany. The trenches were built and the battle scenes filmed on a field near Munich-Pullach. The "New Castle Schleißheim" in Oberschleißheim is the location, where the execution scene was filmed in front of, and also the trial scenes were filmed inside that same castle. The specialist providing the (then still solely ) practical pyrotech effects was the famed German FX-man, Karl "Charlie Boom Boom" Baumgartner, who'd provide the pyrotech effects for some thirty years for many international movies, among them "The Longest Day" (USA 1962), "Dunkirk 1940" ( France 1964), "The Bridge at Remagen" (USA 1968), "Waterloo" ( Italy/USSR 1970), "A Bridge too Far" (GB 1977), "Steiner - The Iron Cross" ( Germany 1977) and "Das Boot" (Germany 1979/80/81) The accomplished director of photography of the movie, Georg Krause, was from Germany too. Shortly before this movie he had also photographed two parts of the classic trilogy of the "o8 / 15" - movies, which were among the first movies made in Germany about WW2 in 1954/55. To save the production same money ironically all the ( non-speaking ! ) extras playing French soldiers were actually German policemen recruited from the state police of Bavaria, because they got payed by the Bavarian federal state and were by law not allowed to earn some extra money, because, as said, they were state officials. There really lies some irony in the fact, that all the extras playing French soldiers were actually Germans, doesn't it !? ;) This was a rather cheap method for the Bavarian goverment to promote the movie production facilities in Munich to foreign producers and attract them to produce their movies there. The policemen would be sent to the movie set during their official work hours and got paid by the state. Another advantage of hiring policemen as extras was, that they were naturally used to handle arms, so the production had not to spend considerable time in give unexperienced extras some training lessons in it. ( Five years later another classic American war movie would be produced here as well : "The Great Escape" with an all star cast. And in 1979/80 another classic, "Das Boot", this time as a complete German production.) But it is pretty likely, that most of these men had also actually fought as soldiers, the older ones in WW1 ( and maybe they were even forced to fight again in the "Volksturm" during the last months of WW2 ) and the younger men probably in WW2. So most of the non-speaking extras certainly knew the song and could fully understand the lyrics. So it was probably no big acting deal for them to tear up, when Christiane Kubrick had sung it in front of them so movingly and in such plain fashion like a German mother from a hundred years ago would have sung it to her little child. There lies so much "innocence" in the unpretentious way she sings this simple tune, that you can't help but being deeply touched by it. Kind regards from a classic movie buff from Germany !

The usual grotesque scum in charge.

since this film was centred around the Sioux Indians, the least they could have done is filmed within Sioux Territory rather than within the dry desert like regions of Utah. That sort of country was not Sioux territory.

Ive read the book and I remember this exact scene during the first half of it. It was hilarious 😂 My book also had illustrations so the executives and policemen were drawn very accurately

Snakes with stars on their shoulders.

All guilty. Of total arrogance! Of flattery!

Patton was an example of this type of attitude. He was a privileged coward who scored low on academic subjects at West Point. His redeeming qualities according to his superiors were that he was neat as a pin and always looked good in uniform. But he was a dumbbell otherwise. During WW2 he slapped wounded soldiers across the face. At one military field hospital, sources say he scrolled a log book of wounded soldiers with his finger and came to a name which he studied momentarily with his index finger on it. Turns out, the name was a Jewish one. He found the soldiers bed and slapped him across face. It is rumored that this type of behavior is what got him fired by Truman. Patton himself was NEVER in a dangerous situation despite having served in multiple wars.

What did he say at tha end of vid ?? "Mix tha blunt" ?? Are they mixing strains n smoking tha peace blunt instead of peice pipe

this flick i saw in 59 really impressed me wat the fighting ensued with ordeals of blood and survival, and when you were hit you were bleeding like a sieve, and if you survived they operated on the already transpired bleeder on the which you hope to survive, just another day for the cavalry surgeeon---the good men had it roough just like the NAM goin on for our cavarry of American soldiers, Cronkite said no body won.

Aldo Ray should have shot him

Stupenda pellicola, non è chissà che cosa ma comunque gradevole, c'è un anacronismo cioè l' uniforme che Driscoll indossava quando fu colpito da O'Meara ad Appomattox non era del tipo indossato dalla cavalleria dell'Unione durante la Guerra Civile. Era il tipo di uniforme indossato dalla cavalleria degli Stati Uniti nelle guerre indiane degli anni 1870 e 1880, quindi stupenda e stupenda per me come valutazione è 8.

☺️☺️😀😀

Yummy Alison.

What is meant by the phrase 'not before dinner' and the stare at 2:34?

El de la barba tiene una buena voz para un personaje de anime

Nicholson trying to convince the Japanese commander that prisoners are protected by the Geneva convention, is like me trying to convince my stepfather on the farm that the warnings on hazardous chemicals should be respected.

Nicholsons loyalty to his men weighed heavier than the loyalty to his country

Always listen to the complaints of middle management

I'm from Sylt and until today I never knew about Reinefarth, but he died the same year I was born and I haven't lived there for over 20 years. The only thing that makes me happier than the Townhall now publicly displaying a plaque acknowledging his crimes & commemorating his Polish victims, is that his grave apparently gets desecrated several times a year.

The British commander in the Japanese commander were two peas in a pod. They were both nut cases.

He played General Mireau like a cheap fiddle! The French general staff has always been corrupt!

He by the book

zlehcování státního smutku...🤣🤣🤣

why does this film look so good for its time?

This time the indians won Altho fiction it may have happened Maybe in canada!

Anyone else find the movement in this scene distracting? Lots of strange pacing and walking around. The dialogue is captivating but the choreography detracts from it.

Just like the generals of today, a chest full of metals earned by others.

That punch to his own left hand at the end is just so overly dramatic and would be so typical of this kind of idiot general who is so enamores with appearance.

Btw, wtf are they doing, sit down, stand up, walk around the table, up and down...

Two amazing actors.

Und dazu Oskar Dirlewanger und sein Sonderkommando.
