Product Description
Studio: Tcfhe/mgm Release Date: 09/23/2008
Amazon.com essential video
This massive 1977 adaptation by director Richard Attenborough (Gandhi) of Cornelius Ryan's novel features an all-star cast in an epic rendering of a daring but ultimately disastrous raid behind enemy lines in Holland during the Second World War. A lengthy and exhaustive look at the mechanics of warfare and the price and futility of war, the film is almost too large for its aims but manages to be both picaresque and affecting, particularly in the performance of James Caan. The impressive cast includes Robert Redford, Gene Hackman, Anthony Hopkins, Laurence Olivier, Dirk Bogarde, Sean Connery, and Liv Ullmann among others. While not a classic war film, it nevertheless manages to be a consistently interesting and exciting adventure. --Robert Lane

 A Bridge Too Far (Blu-Ray) March 13, 2010

I don't believe the Blu-Ray version is any better than the standard DVD version in terms of clarity and viewing experience. It seems to me that all that was done was to take the standard DVD format and put it in Blu-Ray packaging. Certainly not worth the Blu-Ray price.

I think you should watch A Bridge Too Far and then Patton (If you still haven't seen it)
They are great films!
Terry's Picks March 4, 2010

This is a good film in that it was not only entertaining, but a good way to learn history in WWII. I watched the film, but thought that maybe it was "Hollywood-ized" in the story. I looked up this battle and was surprised to see how it was a big disaster. I was shocked to know that British Intelligence was aware of the Panzer Division waiting for the Allies.
To cater to the ego of one man (Montgomery), whose plan this was, was unbelievable! I never could understand how he was such an acclaimed hero.
five star war movie December 30, 2009
Michael P. Dobey (colorado springs)
This is a realistic and good war movie. War is hell and it's good to see a battle that didn't in allied victory protrayed onscreen. It makes you realize that like all wars that one could have been lost without alot of sacrifice. It's a sweeping movie and is historically accurate which is another plus. ON blu ray this movie looks better than ever , it could have been remastered probably though. The colors restored and brought out more. However the print is a good one with no lines or blotches so at least that's a big plus. Still any movie on blu should be restored ; especially a excellent true to life war story that reminds us that the even the best plans of war can go very wrong.
