I seem to remember that Sean Connery was trying to break his typecasting as James Bond and made a film very much akin to "Paths of Glory."

Highly recommended.
Connery also had a bit part in The Longest Day, right around the time of his first Bond movie Dr. No. Before SPR the Longest Day was thee D-Day movie..I always thought it was a bit drawn out and top heavy casted but for it's time a good movie. Surprised it hasn't been mention yet.
