2nd Time Around

ByDallas W. Robertson Jr.on September 25, 2015

Format: Amazon VideoVerified Purchase

When I first started reading in honest, I was in the army (had to do something while standing in line). I read Cornelius Ryan's "The Longest Day" because I had seen the movie. I was surprised that the book seemed somewhat better than the movie. So, I next found "A Bridge Too Far" and enjoyed that as well. When the movie came out, I naturally wanted to see it. I was especially interested in how the movie handled the parachute drop. I was not disappointed. The actors were very good for their parts (especially Sean Connery for the commander of the British Paratroop Group. I always believed that Montgomery was lucky that he appeared on the scene when he did, that he was vain, and was not that skilled as a planner, which the movie brought out, and that he was surrounded by "yes" men, which the movie also brought out. To me, however, the biggest plus of the movie was that it achieved Ryan's ability to bring forth the individuals comprising the event.

A Classic Reborn

ByThe Gunnyon March 6, 2017

Format: Blu-rayVerified Purchase

One of our (my son and I) favorite WW2 movies. I had the DVD version a few years back and somehow it got misplaced. However, the silver lining in that cloud was a legitimate argument to upgrade to BluRay. The resolution was magnificent and the sound just enveloped me while I immersed myself in the story.

Good flic!

ByCornelius E. Brennanon June 19, 2014

Format: Blu-rayVerified Purchase

A Bridge Too Far is a WWII saga based on "Operation Market Garden" an ill advised boondoggle conceived by Field Marshal Bernard Law Montgomery. The intent of the plan was to race through the Netherlands across the Meuse, Wall and Rhine rivers in an attempt to circumvent the Siegfried line and gain entry to Germany. The operation required a combined attack where airborne units parachuted into German held territory securing and holding the bridges, until ground forces (British XXX Corps and there supporting mechanized and infantry divisions) advanced along what is now referred to as "Hell's Highway", a two lane chokepoint through the Dutch countryside. An unreasonable time schedule, along with logistics and communications problems; slowed the operation to the point that the Germans were able to react. While many of the objectives were met it came up short of the prize. The sacrifice of men and equipment is generally considered too much for too little. The movie while taking several historical liberties boasts an all-star cast, and director Richard Attenborough does a respectable job cramming several days of hell into just short of three hours.

Sometimes it just a bridge to far!

ByS. Fassetton April 30, 2017

Format: DVDVerified Purchase

Star studded cast for this movie. All the greats you would want to be fighting ww2 for you. A ww2 movie with the end that we can't win em all.
Sometimes it just a bridge two far. Recommend to be part of anybody's DVD war library.

Still Excellent

ByJames Brandton May 1, 2014

Format: Amazon VideoVerified Purchase

I saw this film in the theater when it came out and then later at home. It's been quite some time since I viewed it, so I rented it from Amazon Prime on impulse. It's still an excellent war film and does a good job of conveying the essentials of the book and the actual operation. Of course, the Germans are portrayed as relatively "good" enemies and the truth was somewhat different and, given the time period in which this was made, a lot of things (shooting prisoners, etc.) were whitewashed. However, the use of actual combat vehicles and aircraft (especially the C-47's) from the period give it a verisimilitude that could probably not be done today, given that most of the ones that are still left are museum pieces that would never be loaned out for a film. I highly recommend it.

Many fine actors in this!

ByJohn Schneider (Not the Duke of Hazzard)on October 7, 2015

Format: Amazon VideoVerified Purchase

Many, Many fine actors in this including Dirk Bogarde, Ryan O'Neal, James Caan, Michael Caine, Sean Connery, Edward Fox, Elliott Gould, Anthony Hopkins, Gene Hackman, Hardy Krüger, Laurence Olivier, Robert Redford, Maximilian Schell and Liv Ullmann. Too bad that the allied forces did not win, but Hitler's forces did not win either. Tremendous casualties, up to about 30,000 loss with no strategic gain. More casualties were on the Allied side. Some tout this as the greatest war movie ever made.

The Case for this Blu-ray is Environmentally Damaging

BySkyhawkon May 30, 2015

Format: Blu-rayVerified Purchase

This review is for the physical item I received from Amazon. If you are after a "pure" movie review I recommend you also see the 'The Internet Movie Database' where, you will find movie reviews unrelated to the delivery mechanism.

The Blu-ray case is full of holes, is lightweight and flimsy. This of course, requires the case to be replaced with a more substantial one (with no holes) and the original case goes into a landfill.

Light can also pass through the Blu-ray case, which may shorten the life of the Blu-ray. If a sturdier case with no holes were used this senseless waste could be avoided.

The Blu-ray version is MUCH better than streaming. There are no artifacts and video is sharp. Amazon streaming was grainy.

The movie itself, I liked, 5 Stars.

A bridge too far...

ByHistory On Fireon July 30, 2013

Format: DVDVerified Purchase

I remember this when I was a kid...I read it when I was in high school.

Dame Daphne Du Maurier, the widow of Lt.-General Browning, complained that her husband had been "made the fall guy" for the failure of "Operation Market Garden" by this film. Browning and the unseen Field Marshal Montgomery, who are shown as responsible for the failure, had both died by the time the film opened in 1977 (unlike the other commanders involved).

A familiar story element in the World War II genre war film is the blowing-up of a bridge. This is especially common in films with the word "bridge" in the title such as The Bridge at Remagen and The Bridge on the River Kwai. Ironically, this film A Bridge Too Far which features a quite a number of bridges in it, only the Son bridge is depicted as destroyed. Just as Col. Stout ('Elliot Gould') approaches the crossing, the bridge is blown up by German artillery (but the actual blowing-up of the bridge is not seen in the movie). The Germans also attempt to blow up the Waal Bridge at Nijmegen, but are unsuccessful when demolition charges fail to explode. In the case of this film, "A Bridge Too Far" refers to the over-ambitions of the Allied strategy in Operation Market Garden. In order for the campaign to be successful, the Allies needed to secure several enemy bridges in a very short period of time. They were tragically unsuccessful.
