USA 1957

This was Stanley Kubrick’s fourth movie, and he was still under thirty years old. It’s amazing that they let him shoot a film which so clearly stuck a knife into the absurdity of war, the grim realism of trench warfare, the horror of combat. Even at this early age we see his penchant for long tracking shots, dialogue which circles back and forth in gratingly absurd and meaningless phrases which would be comical in a cynical way were they not so grim,

Those who have seen the film will know that I am leaving out crucial information after the battle scene. In fact, I refuse to say whether or not Dax takes the hill and how that will affect the lives of his soldiers during the drawn out, endless, tension filled days which follow. I will say that Kubrick directs his gaze at the relationship between those higher up on the totem pole and the subordinate soldiers who are squashed like bugs underneath them. A gregarious general with a healthy appetite (Adolphe Menjou) exploits Mireau for his tin star, Mireau forces Dax to win that damned hill or have hell to pay, and Dax is seemingly blind to a cowardly lieutenant (sad faced Wayne Morris) who accidentally killed one of his own men, covered it up, and seeks to destroy the one corporal (Ralph Meeker) who knows the truth.

Comments

This older release from MGM sports a very nice transfer. It has very good sharpness and contrast. Some fine film grain is also visible but luckily does not become excessive. This transfer appears slightly better than the other two budget MGM Kubirck titles. Audio is fine but its obviously not wildly dynamic. I'm sure these Kubrick titles will be re-issued at some point, but for now they offer very good audio/video presentations at a reasonable price. out of
