    Another David Lean Masterpiece.

    Frankly, if movie directors these days, ( apart from Steven Spielberg), had any true vision of history, movies like this would keep the industry alive and well. Why do not people make great movies like this anymore, leaves me baffled. A great movie, great actors, great location, a movie based on a true story, directed by a genius. What could possibly go wrong.

    A classic movie!

    Although the idea as a whole is erroneous. By that I mean aiding and abetting/assisting the enemy and advancing their construction plan by the POW's leader ordering his troops to help without interference or slowing it by sabotage? Treasonous! He would have been outright killed by his men.

  • The Bridge on the River Kwai (DVD, 2000)

    An excellent adaptation of the award winning novel by Pierre Boulle. This epic movie, directed by David Lean, chronicles the political surrender of British roops in Burma to the Japanese authorities in 1942. The role of Col. Nicholson, the commander of the British soldiers is played by Sir Alec Guiness. The Commandant of the Japanese POW camp is the famous Japanese actor Sessue Hayakawa. He plays Col. Saitu, and is also a British educated engineer. In addition to running this POW camp, he is charged with the responsibility of constructing a train bridge over the River Kwai. After weeks of psychological standoff between Saitu and Nicholson over forcing prisoner officers to do manual labor, a clear violation of the rules outlined in the Geneva Conference, Saitu finally relents and bridge ...

  • Oldie but really goodie..

    Seven Academy Awards, need I say more? Produced when movies were really well done. The sound track will be memorable to some folks. The cast is superlative, especially Alec Guinness. The director, David Lean, did many remarkable films. I'm always delighted to watch his films over and over again.

  • Award Winning Motion Picture

    The Bridge on the River Kwai is a World War 2 action adenture that won seven academy awards in 1958, inciuding best picture (Sam Spiegel) best director (David Lean) and best actor (Alac Guiness) also starring William Holden, Jack Hawkins and Sessue Hayakawa. Screenplay and novel by Pierrre Boulle (who also authored Planet of the Apes). The story is fictional but based on fact, and whereas the actual railway bridge constructed in Thailand during World War 2 incorporated conventional trusses, the wooden bridge in the movie presents an unusual and visually more interesting cantilever design resembling the hsitorically significant Firth of Forth bridge in Scottland. An American escapes from a Japanese prisoner of war camp, but returns with a British Major on a commando raid to destroy this ...
