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.
