The Bridge on the River Kwai

One of the finest films I have ever seen! Loosely based on true events in World War II this David Lean film walked away with seven Oscars a feat he would repeat five years later with LAWRENCE OF ARABIA. This is one of those films legends are made of, they didn't want David Lean to direct it, the didn't want Alec Guiness or William Holden to star in it and truth be told nobody was sure the film would even be a success. Also, one has to remember this was truly done the old fashioned way, not minutures or CGI...these were REAL SIZE sets with real bridges and trains blowing up! Yes, film making at it's finest and must be seen AT LEAST once...also...I guarandamntee you'll have that whistling marching song in your head for weeks afterwards!
