The Bridge On The River Kwai

When British P.O.W.s build a vital railway bridge in enemy occupied Burma, Allied commandos are assigned to destroy it in David Lean's epic World War II adventure The Bridge on the River Kwai. Spectacularly produced, The Bridge on the River Kwai captured the imagination of the public and won seven 1957 Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Actor (Alec Guinness), and Best Director. Even its theme song, an old WWI whistling tune, the Colonel Bogey March , became a massive worldwide hit. The Bridge on the River Kwai continues today as one of the most memorable cinema experiences of all time.Special Features:William Holden and Alec Guinness on The Steve Allen showNewly discovered archival audio of William Holden Narrating The Bridge on the River Kwai PremiereCrossing the Bridge: Picture-in-Graphics track and more!
