A Bridge Too Far (67%)

Plot: 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 Alli...( read more read more... )ed advance 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

    The political and social climate of the late 60's and early 70's made it popular and acceptable to depict soldiers, sailors, airmen and marines as individuals of thin moral fiber and questionable character. The screenplay of The Bridge at Remagen is ripe with such characters. Taken at face value, one would be lead to believe that the American Army rode to victory on the backs of reluctant draftees who were, at best, insubordinate & lazy and, at worst, thieves and rapists. It's shameful that the heroic men of this military campaign are remembered according to this pitiful, inaccurate portrayal.
