Ben Gazzara, E.G. Marshall, George Segal, Robert Vaughn

Fine casting, rugged characters, and authentic military detail make The Bridge at Remagen one of the best World War II action films of the 1960s. Based on actual incidents during the final Allied adva...( read more  read more... )nce on Germany in March 1945, the story focuses on the U.S. Army's exhausted 27th Armored Infantry, assigned to seize the bridge at Remagen, on the Rhine River, to prevent 50,000 German troops from retreating to safety. Lieutenant Hartman (George Segal) leads the mission, while a Nazi major (Robert Vaughan) defies orders by attempting to hold the bridge instead of blowing it up. With strong emphasis on war's harsher realities, the film features compelling characters who illustrate the camaraderie of survivors and the heroism of mavericks in the thick of battle. Segal and Ben Gazzara effectively convey a hard-won friendship, and the film's dynamic action (filmed in Czechoslovakia and Italy) never overwhelms the story's emotional impact. Highly recommended. --Jeff Shannon

    This is a fantastic WW2 film made at the time when Hollywood, affected by the zeitgeist of cynicism due to the war in Vietnam, made movies about less than honorable soldiers just doing their jobs. The officers and generals are either inept or egomaniacs who use their men as fodde...( read more)r to attain glory for themselves. And this is the view from both sides! There are basically two main sympathetic characters in this film, one being an American played by George Segal and the other a German played by Robert Vaughn. The film holds up well today and is a far better statement on the madness of war than most films made since.
