The end of Paths of Glory, the beer hall full of rough soldiers force a young girl to sing for them, and the beauty of her haunting song melts the hardened veterans to tears.
BTW the beautiful young woman became Stanley Kubrick’s wife.

A similar scene that always gets me was the Marsellaise (sp?) scene in Casablanca.
Facoid, most of the actors and extras in that scene were really refugees from the Nazis. So their defiance was real, not acting.
Amazing. I don’t know that movie well at all, but I do remember that scene and the way the men react to her song.
