Additional Information
One of the all-time great war films, THE BRIDGE ON THE RIVER KWAI is yet another classic from the marvelous David Lean (LAWRENCE OF ARABIA, DR. ZHIVAGO). The film is an outstanding, psychologically complex adaptation of Pierre Boulle's 1952 novel, a classic story of English POWs in Burma forced to build a bridge to aid the war effort of their Japanese captors. British and American intelligence officers conspire to blow up the structure, but Col. Nicholson (a fabulous Alec Guinness), the commander who supervised the bridge's construction, has acquired a sense of pride in his creation and tries to foil their plans. Although credited to screenwriter Carl Foreman, the script was actually written by blacklisted writer Michael Wilson. The film garnered seven Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Actor (Guinness). The climax is one of the great finales in film history.
Reviews
New York Times - Brilliant is the word, and no other, to describe the quality of skills that have gone into the making of this picture., Variety - A gripping drama, expertly put together and handled with skill in all departments., Empire Magazine - A towering work., BBC - Lean achieves a fine balance of creating complex characters from a fine cast, while keeping the pace up throughout this long movie.

  • Visit the actual bridge and then watch the film - very moving

    We bought the DVD having just visited the actual bridge over the River Kwai. Unfortunately the filming didn't take place where the actual bridge was built, so it was a little disappointing. However, it was still interesting to watch the film again, having read so much in museums around the area, and it made the awful events so much more alive. If you ever get the chance to visit Kanchanaburi and the surrounding area, I recommend you take it, and pay homage to the thousands who sacrificed their lives there.

  • AS EXPLAINED ABOVE IF YOU KEEP SENDING INFERIOUR ITEMSWE WILL SEEK ANOTHER SUPLIER

    THE DISK APPEARS TO BE DAMAGED AS IT STICKS IN VARIOUS PLACES THROUGHOUT THE PLAYBACK IT IS NOT WORTH THE HASSLE TO REPOST IT BUT IM NOT HAPPY AS YOU CAN IMAGINE

  • One of the Greatest Films ever made.

    A classic, that is as entertaining now, as 60 years ago. Made only 12 years after the war and so would have been a delicate subject for many ex prisoners. Thought provoking examination of pride amongst soldiers, although the British would have been slaughtered immediately, if they had shown the insolence that they did in this film. Still a wonderful film, everyone should see at least once.
