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...

November 02, 2006: Well, this isn’t another war movie, but a very special one, over all considering it’s from 1957. Colonel Nicholson is a stubborn chief of the British Army.

So, Nicholson, who seems to think...

The film The Bridge on the River Kwai dramatized the WWII story of the Thailand-Burma Railway, yet it was largely fictional. Over 65,000 Allied P.O.W.s battled torture, starvation, and disease to hack the 255-mile railway out of harsh jungle for the Japanese. Finishing in only 14 months, many never returned from "The Railway of Death".

true story of the bridge on the river kwai ($15.84) (£9.68) (€11.34)
David Lean`s 1957 film immortalized the heroicism of a core group of British POWs during WWII, but the true story is yet to be told. Captured by the Japanese and put to work building a bridge, the contingent was led by Lieutenant Colonel Philip Toosey, whose collaboration with their captors managed to evade excessive violence or worse directed toward the captives. Often thought of as a traitor, this documentary reveals the true motivations behind the Lieutenant`s actions. Only nine people died, compared...
