    The Bridge on the River Kwai

    Reviewed by

    A remarkable film, the Best Oscar film of the year, is from an original French novel. David Lean is in top form as he makes his first of many epics starring Alec Guiness, Jack Hawkins and to appeal to Americans, William Holden. Aside from learning of the brutality of the Japanese War Camps for POW, we get an entire taste for what WW II happened to be in the Pacific. Guiness is a by the books colonel and goes along with what the Japanese propose in building the bridge. The hum drum POW life is never boring and the conclusion is a masterful stroke of genius in how it was filmed. A rather besotted Guiness in the film won the Oscar as Best Actor in 1957.
