Description

Stanley Kubrick’s anti-war classic is what we’ve got for the 63rd episode in the Next 100 Project. Kirk Douglas brings the ferocity in a movie filled with moral calamity. The fairly small cast is fine, but the (true) story and Kubrick’s direction are what set this apart from most “war is hell” movies. Fill up your cupboard with Sparkplug Coffee, then get on the path to our podcast.
