Editorial Review:





Rating: - Context, folks, context
Unlike most if not all of the reviewers of this film, I saw it when it first came out in 1969. I watched it again (the DVD) just this month (Nov 08). Why? Because it stuck with me and I wanted to see it again.

I submit that any film that sticks with you for almost 40 years is a good film. Not necessarily a great film, but a good one.

It falls short of greatness due to a number of flaws. As other reviewers have pointed out, the film could have been more historically ... Read More

Rating: - A good war movie but there is one hidden treasure..
This is one of my favorite war movies. It was a bomb when it came out and it appears infreguently on tv.

Rating: - Based on actual event
Although an actioneer, the movie sticks pretty close to the historical facts concerning the taking of the Remagen Bridge. Action fans will love all the tanks, jeeps and machine guns; but what sets the movie apart from being routine is the character development of both the American and German soldiers.
