Brilliant Holden, Unforgettable Guiness

Rating: Null/10 (18 October 2011)

Sam Spiegel and David Lean collaborated on the filming of The Bridge On the River Kwai. Logistically it must have been very difficult to film this movie and many kudos go the Producer, Director and stars William Holden, and Alec Guiness. I like William Holden's easy natural masculine acting and I laughed when on the beach with an enlisted nurse (Officers and Enlisted are not suppose to fraternize together) the Nurse asks Holden what she should call him and Holden says with great aplomb,"Sir".
Alec Guiness justly won the Oscar and many other acting awards worldwide for his legendary performance.
This is a great war movie about heroism and one has to remember the brave Men of the River Kwai project for the great ordeals they encountered. The ending is powerful.
Bravo to Columbia Pictures, and Messrs. Speigel, Lean, Guiness, and Holden
