 The Bridge Over The River Kwai October 22, 2008
Great W.W.2 movie. With William Holden a great actor. I sure do miss him. He puts these new actors to shame. Good movie for any war buff to add to his or hers collection.
"Whistle While You Work. . ." September 21, 2008
"Bridge On the River Kwai" is one of those masterpiece movies. Sir Alec Guiness is a standout, as is the Japanese commander. The tension builds artfully throughout the duration of the movie as cruelties escalate and the prisoners try to outsmart their captors. Perserverence is the name of the game and William Holden perserveres and injects his own dramatic style into the bargaining. We finally get the pay off and it is a doozie. BOTRK deserves all of its academy awards and more.
The bridge... August 22, 2008
An excellent movie. It gives all aspects of the war;those who are gung-ho,those that didn't care for the war, the captured, the japanese,and those tortured. It is a movie that makes you think and just be entertained. I can recommend this movie for everyone. There is a bit of violence but it is done with taste.
Ps.There is a book called Ship of Ghosts. It is the true story of this movie.

The movie is just fantastic.
I have bought several DVD's released by Columbia. All classic movies seem to have the same problem this DVD has. The picture has a soft shake.
The movie is great but I just wish the DVD had been mastered properly.

First of all, this is a fantastic movie about British POWs building a bridge in 1940s Burma for the Japanese. The dvd is an excellent anamorphic transfer of the movie in its original 2.55:1 format, and the picture is incredibly clear. The price now stands on Amazon $5.00 more expensive than when I bought it, but I would still recommend purchasing it if you are a fan of classic movies.
