The Bridge at Remagen
(1969)
Directed by John
Guillermin this film stars George Segal, Robert Vaughn, Ben Gazzara
and Bradford Dillman. Late in World War 2 American and German forces
face off over the last remaining bridge over the Rhine.
While the film is
inspired by real events it appears to be a heavily fictionalised
account that at least changes the names of the characters so as not
to present fiction as fact. The story is a fairly standard war piece
that features soldiers tired of war on both sides but does not have
an especially deep take on the matter. There are some good locations
that do a good job of recreating Remagen but occasionally some ropey
acting does sneak in to the film.
3/5
