A Bridge Too Far
"...The last thrust-of-thousands, star-studded war talkie till doomsday made, Attenborough's three-hour epic deserves repeated viewing..." -- 4 Stars
A Bridge Too Far
Richard Attenborough's epic retelling of one of the Second World Strife's biggest debacles is impressive enough, with its eye-winning list of stars, fabulous parachute-forsake sequences and superb Panavison photography from Geoffrey Unsworth. But the depressing nature of this operating fish story of human suffering and desist makes looking for grim, unedifying viewing, no matter how cleverly writer William Goldman has created scenario from the result. Simply Sean Connery and Edward Fox really shine in an all-star cast that includes Dirk Bogarde, Gene Hackman, Laurence Olivier, Elliott Gould, James Caan and Robert Redford, though Valiant Kruger and Maximilian Schell evolve with credibility as Germans.
