The Road to Glory is a 1936 American war drama film directed by Howard Hawks and starring Fredric March, Warner Baxter, Lionel Barrymore and June Lang, and produced by 20th Century Fox. It is a depiction of World War I trench warfare in France. It is vaguely inspired by Roland Dorgelès’ 1919 novel and Raymond Bernard’s 1932 Les Croix de Bois (Wooden Crosses), though the film credits don’t mention them.
Plot
Set in France during World War I, a love triangle develops between a French commander who cares more for strategy than human life, a free-thinking officer who is appalled by his superior's decisions, and the nurse with whom both men fall in love.
