    Cut out the romance, and you've got a great War Movie

    This is a hard-edged look at life in the trenches during World War I with a couple of major subplots that don't gel as well as they should. I'd argue that one should have been jettisoned entirely while the other needed a little bit of smoothing over to make it fit better. However, much like Ceiling Zero, even if there are some subplots that don't come to complete fruition, the core of the film is so strong that it ends up carrying the whole film strongly enough to make it something kind of special.

    Warner Baxter plays La Roche, the captain of a storied French regiment alternating back and forth from the front lines of trench warfare year in and year out. His reputation as a hard and good military leader is well-entrenched in the mind of the new lieutenant, Frederic March's Michel Donet. It scares him a bit that La Roche's unit often comes back with only half of its men after action, but the regiment's legacy must be maintained. Introduced very early in the film is the love triangle between La Roche, Donet, and La Roche's girl Monique (June Lang), a nurse at the nearby field hospital. This whole love triangle really doesn't come to a whole lot in the end, but Donet encounters Monique during an air raid, having no idea her connection to La Roche, and he falls for her pretty quickly. She's resistant to his veteran charms being a veteran of the war for as long as he is, and it doesn't hurt that she's one of the only pretty girls around. She seems somewhat drawn to him, but her loyalty to La Roche is too strong.

    The regiment goes to the front for their several weeks service, greeted by the sound of a French soldier dying on the wire just on the French side of No Man's Land. Donet has a solution, and it's to send two other men to rescue the man on the wire. That fails quickly, and Donet manages to rescue one of them, shot in the leg and seeing the end of his involvement in the war. La Roche comes up with another solution, pulls out his pistol, and fires a few times until the man on the wire has been put out of his misery.

    This portrait of the miserable existence on the front line of The Great War is really where this movie shines and works at its absolute best. This is a clear-eyed look at a tense existence where any moment could bring a falling shell or errant bullet to end them instantly. The tension gets centered specifically on the sound of a mine being dug underneath the barracks. What can they do about it? Well, it seems like nothing but wait and hope that they rotate out before it explodes. Every moment is defined by listening for the sound of the pick axe below ground, and if it pauses everyone tenses up, terrified that the job is done and that they are all about to die. They do manage to get out on their rotation without it exploding, but it goes off within sight of them marching away, killing the men who replaced them.

    I'm not sure how realistic that might be, that nothing would be done about a tunnel being dug underneath a position, but as a manifestation of the impending danger that could kill them all without notice, it's fantastic. This makes the terror of living at the front lines, in the trenches, absolutely palpable and tangible.

    Then the audience introduces its second major subplot. In La Roche's first speech to his men before they went out he saw an older man who wanted to contribute by fighting in the war, but La Roche sent him back as unfit. While speaking to his men before going out again, he sees another old man and has him sent to him. It turns out that this is his father. La Roche is happy to see him, proud of him even, but he has to send his father back. This is no place for an old man. Treated well by Donet because of his connection to La Roche, Papa La Roche waits in the captain's house by the fire with a guard. The scene where Papa La Roche and the guard talk about how the paper order is the only thing getting him to leave is an odd bit of comedic business in a rather deathly serious movie as Papa La Roche and the guard allow the wind to blow the order to the fire and then finish it off by blowing it into the fire themselves. I get the point from a plot standpoint (gotta keep Papa La Roche around for the final act of the movie) and as an effort to break up the dour atmosphere of the film as a whole, but I think it ends up taking up too much time and is too obviously comic to fit in properly. It's better to break up the dour action with small bits of comedic business that arise from normal character interactions than to have a showstopper scene like this. Oh well, it's over soon, and the regiment is back to the front.

    Before they go, though, Donet finds Monique and woos her. He's a nice guy, and she's a nice girl. They have a natural affinity, and the only thing holding her back is her attachment to La Roche, but the affection is genuine, especially after the nice moment where Donet invites himself to sit with her at dinner. He's a piano player with a cheery disposition in this awful place, unlike La Roche who's consumed by the guilt and death that surrounds him. But La Roche needs her, so she stays his girl.

    The regiment goes back to the front, and this is where Papa La Roche becomes important. I think he should have been introduced much earlier somehow, not at the halfway point, maybe even just in talk from La Roche about life back home. Essentially, we don't get a whole lot of time between father and son before their relationship gains new dimensions. Some extra time might have made La Roche's later decisions gain some extra emotional weight.

    Anyway, back at the line, they're given a mission to fight towards the German line, pushing them back beyond the local town on the German side. In a stalemate, they're told to extend a telephone line as far forward as they can in order to help call in an artillery strike. Papa La Roche and Donet volunteer along with four others, and Papa La Roche proves that he's unfit for service on the line when he throws a grenade at his own men (injuring Donet), putting him under arrest by his own father when they return to the French line. La Roche gets blinded, and Monique has to treat them both at the hospital where La Roche realizes what's going on between his lieutenant and his girl.

    Hawks was known to repeat things, and this ending repeats a lot of the beats from movies like Today We Live, seeing one man give himself up selflessly in order to help another man, especially when it comes to a woman. The love triangle aspect never really gains any emotional weight, but La Roche's final actions, aided by his ailing father set for trial for his actions with the grenade, is a wonderfully sad moment, leaving Donet in charge, much like in The Dawn Patrol.

    Really, I don't mind the repetition at all. I'd be ready to love this movie if the love triangle came to a bit more and Papa La Roche had more time in the beginning to form a cinematic connection with his son. Perhaps this kind of movie didn't really need the two dramatic subplots to help it along at all. I don't think they actively hurt the film, but they don't add all that much either. Between them, though, is a tense tale of life at the front lines of World War I, and it's kind of great. Donet slowly becomes harder like La Roche, and La Roche comes to an appropriate end. This may not be a great film overall, but there's some greatness in it.

    A good anti-war drama with stars Warner Baxter and Fredric March in fine form.

    The horrors of trench warfare in WWI are effectively shown in this anti-war drama, in which there were two scenes that stuck with me for hours afterwards. In one, the mournful wails and moans of an injured soldier stuck on barbed wire 100 feet from the trench had dead would-be rescuers strewn about him. The enemy snipers purposely let him live to tempt his fellow soldiers to a rescue so they could kill them. In the other scene, soldiers in a bunker hear the enemy below them and realize they are digging into the area to place explosives to blow it up, and this sets off a panic. Director Howard Hawks paces the film well and has exceptionally good action scenes. There's also a love triangle between Capt. Warner Baxter and his subordinate, Lt. Fredric March (both excellent in their roles) for lovely June Lang, which was an essential part of the plot. I enjoyed the humor provided by Gregory Ratoff and seeing Lionel Barrymore in one of his last films he made without a wheelchair.

    Decent movie

    First time I watched this movie and I give it eight stars, it's a descent movie, worth watching. Warner Baxter is known for his Dr. Ordway series which I enjoyed. This is a serious drama about front line war in WW1, the French fighting the Germans. The love interest of the two leading men (June Lang) was quite attractive. The reason I didn't give a higher rating is that it moves a bit slow at first but the war authenticity is impressive, even by today standards. Unlike the other reviews I'm not describing details, seems that spoils it for those who read the reviews before watching the film.

    How much more deadly war has become

    I saw The Road To Glory for the first time in over 40 years and all I can say is it's the best film Howard Hawks ever did that no one really knows about. It is one of the great anti-war films of all time, it ranks up there in World War I films with Paths Of Glory and All Quiet On The Western Front. In fact this ought to be seen with Paths Of Glory back to back, first this one and then Paths Of Glory where you will understand completely what the French soldiers mutinied about.

    Warner Baxter is the veteran captain who's been at the front for years and Fredric March is a lieutenant and relative newcomer who still has a jauntiness about him. Never mind that jauntiness is pretty well knocked out of March after a while.

    Pretty nurse June Lang comes between them in a romantic complication to their relationship as veteran officer and relative newcomer. But Baxter has an additional problem, his father Lionel Barrymore, veteran of the Franco-Prussian War has enlisted and found his way to Baxter's outfit. In the beginning Baxter sends away an elderly volunteer. But Barrymore he does not because Baxter knows what it means to the old man.

    But Barrymore does not know how much more deadly war has become since 1870. Poison gas, barbed wire, trenches where you lived as well as fought, and automatic weapon fire. It proves too much for him and it leads to tragedy for many in the cast.

    Hawks's direction of the battle scenes is incredibly impressive. A lot of this footage was used in other films. And he gets grade A performances out of his cast, most impressive being Baxter and Barrymore.

    Sadly this film is not out on DVD, I was lucky to get a copy to review. I hope TCM shows this one real soon so you will rave about it as I have done.

      June Lang was 19 at the time the film was released. She was twenty years younger the Fredric March and twenty-nine years younger than Warner Baxter.

      The story takes place in World War One, but all of June Lang's clothes fashions and hairstyles, are strictly up-to-the minute 1936.
