 The Bridge on the
River Kwai, an exciting film that reminds us of those
brave men who sacrificed so much to defend the freedoms of this nation
taking place during WWII.
A sweeping epic directed by David Lean is set in a Japanese World War
II
prison camp in which British prisoners of war are forced to construct a
railway bridge
as a morale-boosting exercise. But the real battle of wills is summed
up between
the British colonel Nicholson (Alec Guinness) who plays by the rules,
very
dedicated to the project, and his American rival (William Holden), who
vows to destroy it.
The POWs' whistling work epic became legendary.
