This film never seems to bore me. The first time I watched it was with my Dad a couple of years ago. I gave him the option of choosing a movie to watch in my United Artists Collection and this is the one he picked. Set during WWI, Colonel Dax (Kirk Douglas) refuses to continue with the suicidal mission to seize The Ant Hill. Three men are brought to trial for being "cowards" and are subsequently executed. Kirk Douglas's acting is spot on - even though at times I mistake him for his son Michael Douglas. The rest of the men also stood out - particularly Timothy Carey as Maurice Ferol. I recommend that everyone should see this movie more than one before they die.
