(Only on occasion, you could get a free show like that). They don't make em like this anymore.. It was just after jump school with the 101st Airborne Army, and when this movie was just out. They marched us down to theater to see it. I am the grandchild of people who were fighting age in WWII, and for some reason, I still get a distant sense of the drama of that time every time I see a film about WWII, even more than the history. It just brings it to life. It's like going home, although I would never have wanted to be involved in that awful disaster. It's probably the era of films I'm really nostalgic about. Oops. Dealt. Sloppy speller after years of nurse's notes. My father and 6 bother in law’s server in WWII I IN GERMANY THE REMAINING IN THE PACIFIC. ALL CAME HOME. If you were in the White Pages of the phone book, you too, could be listed in the credits. For you younger folks who don't know what is meant by "White Pages," it means... Oh, never mind. I viewed this film in 1977...it was unbelievable...the reality was brought to life on the big screen...and shocking. I was there on that bridge! I don’t have much time to live, but I was there! 5:50 is when opening credits end That general the British guy sounds like Monty python. I’d be laughing too much to hear his orders???????????????? Star studded cast!: Anthony Hopkins Michael Cain Robert Redford Sean Connery James Caan Sir Laurence Olivier Gene Hackman Maximillian Schell Ryan O'Neal Elliot Gould and a bunch more Me and my dad would discuss the war before he died in May 2,000...he was a Marine Aircraft Mechanic during the war and stated they would fly them for about 1,000 hours in the South Pacific and then send the planes back to us in Hawaii to be repaired or rebuilt...new engine or whatever it needed...he kept his locker full of ammo and his rifle ready, just in case...he was not going to get caught with his pants down...after the war in 1945...he stated, we wanted to take on Russia...the common soldiers wanted to stamp out communism...he said, they were down...and we wanted to do it...these were simple soldiers with about an 8th grade education who worked the farms and fields of America...and, they could see better than Ivy League so called educated people.. All those poor men who gave there lives for our country. They had a job to do and they did it knowing they might not come back. 1:02:40 One thing that always bothered me about this scene: isn’t this guy a little too rotund to be a Wehrmacht trooper? Better lay off the schnitzel there, big boy. This movie just needed a few well-known actors. A great classic masterpiece movie ???? of all time . Unbelievable , speechless . Got all those great actors in one movie ???? . One of the best movie ever . So Pragmatic And realistic . “Well that could be 10 miles from the drop zone!” “No just under 8 actually” Thank goodness ????, they have subtitles ???????????????????????? I’m not used to credits at the beginning anymore. This is probably my favorite movie ever I never realized this was a Navel operation. SO, the Bailey "crap" was British but Americans assmebled it? lalo lalo won’t say what he means, a sub-set of bigots, the “coward type” that chuckle out their hate. Hey dude, what is it you want to say about Jews and Distinguished Service Cross recipient 101st Airborne WW2 paratrooper Richard Winters? Let’s hear it. I once was on a bridge too far. Kept running out of gas. At 22 minutes, I lost big screen view. Ryan @ 2:02 really sux. Then continues to boss around Robert Redford after that. Sad,sad,sad.... Then Cliff shows up....???? My grandfather started that war when he was almost 18, in 1941, and came back home in 1952, almost 10 years 'journey'. 4 years of war, 6 months of German working camp as a soviet soldier (escaped) , 4 years of Russian working camp (escaped) because he was in German working camp. So many famous actors in this film, a good way to win 6 degrees of separation. You ever farted so hard that it made your back crack ???? Wow, enjoy this whole its up... classic movie! 0:54 - still going Hitlers way ? FM Montgomery was regarded by history as pretty much a f---up. They all made mistakes which sadly is unavoidable in war but he was uniquely apparently a fool Great movie. My brother had me watch it. Loved it. Maybe 20 or so more commercials is what this movie upload needs.. Before i begin, how much of this movie did YOUTUBE censor? Great movie, july1st You tube thruw out a few new movies.. We did our duty. We fought for the fatherland. Great movie must be one of the greatest epic war movies of all time, not sentimental or propaganda, its a great visualization. A Navel Destroyer A Hula Hoop with a nail in it One of the best War movies ever. Not a single soldier from Middle East, Africa or even India, who were fighting a foreign war for foreign people on foreign land. Guess we forget our heroes sooner then the enemies. I'm only here becuase of Itchy Boots Gene Hackman supposed to be Scottish/Irish?!? Yikes! 3 hous? sleep in the movie. I always liked that this movie features a pretty good speaking part for Cliff Clavin. People have always told me that previous Military Service pretty much guarantees getting a job with the US Post Office. Apparently this was true for ol' Cliffie. 'One of the main reasons for the failure of Operation Market Garden was the fact that many senior officers simply ignored the warnings from the Dutch Resistance. The British and Montgomery had believed that the Germans were all but defeated and that their morale was low.He also believed that the bridges were only lightly defended which was correct, but he did not consider that there were substantial German forces near these bridges. In fact, Von Rundstedt had ordered two SS divisions to the area around Arnhem for rest and to be refitted. The Dutch Resistance had informed the British of this. Furthermore, the British intelligence service had passed on evidence that corroborated the Dutch claims to the Allied high command. They had solid evidence that the Germans had regrouped in the Arnhem area and were a formidable fighting force. In the movie Lieutenant General Frederick Browning, commander of the airborne operation is shown ignoring warnings. Major Fuller, an intelligence officer, shows Browning (Dirk Bogarde) photos of the Panther and Tiger tanks but even this does not stop the Operation. Browning refused to accept that there were German divisions in the target areas. In fact, Browning despite being told by his own intelligence officer that SS panzers were located near Arnhem, did not even order that the paratroopers landing in the area be equipped with any anti-tank weapons. Browning is shown as placing any officers who called for the Operation to be canceled such as the intelligence officer, on sick leave, which is correct. The anger of the Dutch Resistance when their intelligence was ignored is also true. The series of intelligence failures that led to the disaster at Arnhem is portrayed in the movie very accurately.' The movie seems to lay much of the blame for the failure of Operation Market Garden on Browning. In the book upon which the movie is based the ultimate blame for the failure of Market Garden was placed firmly on Field Marshal Bernard Montgomery. Most historians would agree with this, but Montgomery is noticeably missing from the movie.' https://dailyhistory.org/How_historically_accurate_is_the_movie_%27A_Bridge_Too_Far%27%3F Can someone tell me what vehicles that was at 1:18. The flame thrower vehicles. Never seen those Saw a British officer wearing black plastic framed glasses.....1960s style..lol Why did they use all these lousy actors for this movie?!

Right...off we go Why does every movie jerk the volume up and down ? Is that supposed to make it a better movie ? My Dad was an anti-aircraft artillery platoon commander in the Red Army in WWII. He fought alongside the American sailors as his platoon was shielding the US convoys to the northern port of Murmansk from the German air raids. Came home uninjured, thank God. Passed away in Cleveland OH. Only 3% of Russian men his age came back from that war alive. Oh yes World War II, another artificial globalist War where are all the major players belong to the same secret societies and companies in America like General Electric and Ford (among many others) sent War material to Nazi Germany. 12-year-old boy (Ben Tibber) who manages to flee a Communist concentration camp through sheer wil https://www.wenxuecity.com/groups/bbs.php?act=bbsview&gid=2508&basecode=943843 |
