One of the better ones...

Rating: Null/10 (13 September 2003)

Well-done adaptation of Cornelius Ryan's great book detailing "Operation Market-Garden." Gives a couple of nods to crass commercialism where a story line or two appears not quite as it was in the book ; I'm sure intended to boost box-office appeal. No problem, doesn't change history or detract from the story, God bless capitalism! So if it's not one of the top ten war movies then it is not too far behind; an an excellent overview of the efforts and errors made by the Allies in this operation, and sticks pretty well to Ryan's approach to getting the story told. Great movie, belongs in any war movie collection.
