The Bridge at Remagen description 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 Shannon |

| ♥♥♥♥♥ | Excellent acting and action |
| The true story about the Bridge at Remagen is a fascinating part of WWII history, and what a critical role it played in the Allies advance into Germany. This movie captures the stratetgy and heroism of both the Americans and Germans. It also reflects the all too common battle between officers and enlisted men. George Segal and Ben Gazzara give memorable performances (particularly at the hotel when they go after the sniper), as does Bradford Dillman. The actor who played the German officer who is in charge of the bridge tugs at the heart. But the performance that stands out for me is Robert Vaughn, as the perhaps too-dedicated Nazi officer. His final scene is perfectly underplayed and heartbreaking.
Good film. If you like war movies or just enjoy good performances and story lines, you should try this one. |
