Pretty Good

Rating: 7/10 (23 March 2006)

I've seen this movie only once, and that was a long time ago. Since I was a fan of Alec Guiness, I looked forward to seeing this movie. I was not disappointed. His performance gave him the Oscar he won. He did magnificently, and I strongly recommend this movie for people who like good war movies.
British World War 2 prisoners of war are given the task, by their Japanese captors, of building a railway bridge in an Asian jungle. Led by Col Nicholson, (Guiness)a British officer, the prisoners score a moral victory over the Japanese by not only building the bridge, but running the whole show. Unknown to Nicholson, an allied demolition team are planning to destroy the bridge once it's completed.
A great war film. 7/10.
