A Bridge Too Far is Too Much **

Rating: 4/10 (13 July 2013)

Even with an all-star cast and more, the film fails to deliver as we see vignettes describing the situation that the English, American and other allied troops are in with regard to trying to free bridges on their way to Germany in 1944.
The battle scenes with the victims on the floor reminded me of those grave scenes in Atlanta in 1939's blockbuster, "Gone With the Wind." Everyone suffers.
Even the old woman, whose house is taken as a refuge for the wounded, can't stand noise and even she falls victim to a bullet when attempting to run out of the house to get a "taxi."
This attempt appeared to be a major blunder in fighting the war. Fortunately, we didn't have too much of those-otherwise, the outcome might have been different and I wouldn't be writing a review of this film right now.
