A Note Regarding Spoilers

The following FAQ entries may contain spoilers. Only the biggest ones (if any) will be covered with spoiler tags. Spoiler tags have been used sparingly in order to make the page more readable.

Yes. Paths of Glory is based on a 1935 novel by Humphrey Cobb, who served in the Canadian army during WWI and fought in the battle of Amiens. The book had no title when it was finished, so the publisher held a contest. The winning entry came from the ninth stanza of the famous Thomas Gray poem Elegy Written in a Country Church-yard: The boast of heraldry, the pomp of power,/ And all that beauty, all that wealth e'er gave,/ Awaits alike th' inevitable hour:-/ The paths of glory lead but to the grave.

There are hundreds of them, far too many to list in a FAQ. For a list of all WWI movies in the IMDb, see here.
