Movie Reviews of The Bridge at Remagen
Movie Review: A good war movie but there is one hidden treasure..
Summary: 4 Stars
This is one of my favorite war movies. It was a bomb when it came out and it appears infreguently on tv. I won't waste time telling you the plot because that is not what makes this movie special for me. It is music. This is one of Elmer Bernstien's best soundtracks. It is very hard to find this one and you can only find the opening in one place only. It is part of a group of war music themes called WAR. It very sad that this soundtrack isn't mention when people talk about Bernstien. This is the equal of his Magnificent Seven and once you hear it, it stays with you. The drums as the tanks roll to the bridge in opening is wonderful. So I am reccomending this movie for its music. Enjoy.
Summary of The Bridge at Remagen
Fine casting, rugged characters, and authentic military detail make The Bridge at Remagen one of the best World War II action films of the 1960s. Based on actual incidents during the final Allied advance on Germany in March 1945, the story focuses on the U.S. Army's exhausted 27th Armored Infantry, assigned to seize the bridge at Remagen, on the Rhine River, to prevent 50,000 German troops from retreating to safety. Lieutenant Hartman (George Segal) leads the mission, while a Nazi major (Robert Vaughan) defies orders by attempting to hold the bridge instead of blowing it up. With strong emphasis on war's harsher realities, the film features compelling characters who illustrate the camaraderie of survivors and the heroism of mavericks in the thick of battle. Segal and Ben Gazzara effectively convey a hard-won friendship, and the film's dynamic action (filmed in Czechoslovakia and Italy) never overwhelms the story's emotional impact. Highly recommended. --Jeff ShannonAn all-star castincluding George Segal, Robert Vaughn, Ben Gazzara and E.G. Marshallbrings all the glory and agony of war to stunning life in this intense and exhilarating, but uniquely human, look at a struggle widely regarded as the most strategic coup of World War II. "Excellent special effects, spectacular photography and fine action sequences" (Motion Picture Exhibitor) put you on the front lines of the battle and with the courageous soldiers who fought it. 1945: The Allies are making their final advance into German territory, and only one strategic bridge on the Rhine River remains in Nazi hands. Both sides have much to gain: the Germans, the lives of 50,000 soldiers stationed on the wrong side of the bridge; and the Allies, a quicker end to the war with fewer lives lost. Though both armies would fight valiantly, only one could win the heart-rending battle for The Bridge at Remagen.
