The First Realistic WWII Movie Made

Rating: 10/10 (11 November 2003)

In some ways, A Bridge Too Far was one of the most ambitious cinematic endeavors in the medium's history. First of all, the sheer scale of the movie was overwhelming. The cast was the definition of star-studded. And the story was delightfully un-sugarcoated--to my knowledge, the first of its kind on this subject. It is a movie that relies on the performances of its cast, which is more than up to the challenge. Truly one of the greatest war movies ever.
