The Bridge on the River Kwai

[Don M.]

This evening, after supper, I flipped through the channel guide, and found this old movie....from 1957. I turned it on, and quickly became fascinated...managed to stay awake through the entire movie. I had heard of that movie when I was growing up, but never saw it. It swept the Academy Awards in 1958, and I can easily see why.

When you get a chance read up on the making of the movie. Fascinating stuff.

It's a great movie, isn't it?

I've seen it a number of times. It's like Ben Hur and Moses to me...if it's on, I'll watch.

Excellent film, if you haven't seen it, it's definitely worth watching.

One of my favorites. Alec Guinness was outstanding.

Came out 6 years before I was born, and have seen it many times...

I remember watching this movie back in the 70's. Loved it.

This one is definitely worth watching IMO. I haven't seen it on TV for some time though so I'm going to look into buy the DVD and perhaps other similar movies. Enjoy watching these "oldies" much more than many of the others that Hollywood has produced in recent years.

The movie was a far stretch from the real story. I too have watched it several times. Great cast especially Guinness and the Japanese camp commander.

It was one of my dad's favorite movies. I can still hear the whistling in my head.
