The Bridge On The River Kwai [1957] The Bridge On The River Kwai [1957]
Based on the true story of the building of a bridge on the Burma railway by British ... more
prisoners-of-war held under a savage Japanese
regime in World War II, The Bridge on the River
Kwai (1957) is one of the greatest war films ever
made. The film received seven Oscars, including
Best Picture, Director, Performance (Alex
Guinness), for Sir Malcolm Arnold's superb music,
and for the screenplay from the novel by Pierre
Boulle (who also wrote Monkey Planet, the
inspiration for Planet of the Apes). The story
does take considerable liberties with history,
including the addition of an American saboteur
played by William Holden, and an entirely
fictitious but superbly constructed and thrilling
finale. Made on a vast scale, the film reinvented
the war movie as something truly epic,
establishing the cinematic beachhead for The
Longest Day (1962), Patton (1970) and A Bridge Too
Far (1977). It also proved a turning-point in
director David Lean's career. Before he made such
classic but conventionally scaled films as In
Which We Serve (1942) and Hobson's Choice (1953).
Afterwards there would only be four more films,
but their names are Lawrence of Arabia (1962), Dr
Zhivago (1965), Ryan's Daughter (1970) and A
Passage to India (1984).  On the DVD: Too often
the best extras come attached to films that don't
really warrant them. Not so here, where a truly
great film has been given the attention it
deserves. The first disc presents the film in the
original extra-wide CinemaScope ratio of 2.55:1,
in an anamorphically enhanced transfer which does
maximum justice to the film's superb
cinematography. The sound has been transferred
from the original six-track magnetic elements into
5.1 Dolby Digital and far surpasses what many
would expect from a 1950s' feature. The main bonus
on the first disc is an isolated presentation of
Malcolm Arnold's great Oscar-winning music score,
in addition to which there is a trivia game, and
maps and historical information linked to
appropriate clips.  The second disc contains a
new, specially produced 53-minute "making of"
documentary featuring many of those involved in
the production of the movie. This gives a rich
insight into the physical problems of making such
a complex epic on location in Ceylon. Also
included are the original trailer and two short
promotional films from the time of release, one of
which is narrated by star William Holden. Finally
there is an "appreciation" by director John
Milius, an extensive archive of movie posters and
artwork, and a booklet that reproduces the text of
the film's original 1957 brochure. --Gary S Dalkin
