Review of A Bridge Too Far (1977) by Cecily B — 17 Mar 2010
This is my favorite movie...realistic in the spectacle (details great and small), the tragedy, and often stupidity of war and of life. The cream does not always rise to the top, symbolized in this case by British LT GEN Browning (Airborne Corps Commander), who after this campaign essentially forced Polish MAJ GEN Sosabowski (1st Polish Para Brigade Commander), a more experienced military officer, out of front line service.
My eternal thanks to the men and women who have and continue to sacrifice for our freedom, as soldiers, spies, and innocent civilians. May we pay our debt to them by preventing the causes of war as much as we work to craft the weapons of war.
