Bound for Glory (French: Partis pour la gloire) is a Canadian drama film, directed by Clément Perron and released in 1975.[1]

Set against the backdrop of the 1942 Canadian conscription plebiscite,[2] the film is set in a small town in the Beauce region of Quebec where resistance to the war is high and many men have fled into the woods to escape being conscripted.[3] The film's cast includes Serge L'Italien, Rachel Cailhier, Jacques Thisdale, André Melançon, Yolande Roy, Jean-Marie Lemieux, Louise Ladouceur and Jean-Pierre Masson.

Melançon won the Canadian Film Award for Best Actor at the 27th Canadian Film Awards.[4]
