duel of honor, Guinness sets
about building the bridge to
show what the British can do

The implication of this act
is that there is no limit to
which honor and discipline do

Guinness part that supplies the
plot with a maddening final
flip that shall not be revealed

Bridge on the River Kwai" is
a piece of sheer magic down to
such a careful detail as the
contrast between the natural
beauty of its landscape and the
man-made horror that takes
place on it.
The demands he makes upon
his cast could not be more ex-
acting, more memorably met.
The single outstanding per-
Torrance, of course, is that of
Guinness. a single-minded bore
of a man capable of heroic
fidelity to a code if only because
he is unaware that life is larger
than his way of looking at it.
Holden as an American sailor
who is sick of the war and can
not understand how its ten
tacles keep dragging him into

tolerable if no less deadly.

70 X-ray the very spirit OF the
species in an interval of cruel
crisis.
This effect. with its excite
nent. suspense and revelation,
is achieved by the perfection of
q multitude of details. These
begin with a searchingly writ
ten script. understanding and
imaginative direction, and a
chain Of brilliant performances
whose major links are supplied
by Alec Guinness. William
Holden and Jack Hawkins.
If Bridge on the River
Kwai" does not run until the
prints wear out, these have a
right to a sense of injustice.
Two stories. either of them
better than most film plots,
are deity fused in the screen
play written by Pierre Boulle,
author of the original novel.
and Director Lean.
The personal and dominant
narrative concerns a clash of
codes between a British colonel
(GuinneSs) and a Japanese
(Sessue Hayakawa) of the same
rank. The latter as head of a
jungle prisoner-of-war camp
has q bridge to build. He
orders Guinness. his officers
and men to work side by side
upon the construction. GUM
ness refuses on the ground that
the rules of war exempt Of
flcerS from manual labor.
Thus is touched off a duel
between an officer willing to
die for his standards and an
other willing to kill him save
that this may keep the bridge
from being built. In the lat
ter event, the japanese captor
would have no choice but to
kill himself for failing to per-
form the construction job.
To the tension of which Of
f1cer will win this duel of honor,
the story counterpoints an
other SCATTERING element of
suspense. This one lies IN
the circumstances that while
Guinness and Hayakawa are
stalemated on building the
bridge, it's destruction is being
planned by another allied force
in a distant quarter, this one led
by Holden and Hawkins.
Juggling the two story
strands, whether the bridge
will be built in time for the
japanese or destroyed in time
by the allied commando force,
Mr.. Lean holds the audience
on two prongs of suspense that
could not be more cutting.
X \ +
OF the dual plot elements,
Mr.. Lean puts the pictures &C
