05/28/2019 More North Americans should see this classic film. This comedic romp is very British and seems to be well known in the United Kingdom, but did not make the transition to the shores of North America. The years have been no obstacle to this film, and it shows perfectly well today. Certainly, more Americans should be exposed to this classic movie, and unfortunately, there is only one way of doing it in today's world. Only Turner Classic Movies might play this movie (note: they did -- as a viewer request), but getting it into any type of rotation may prove difficult. The Bridge of the River Kwai is in a tight repetitive rotation and is shown every 2-3 weeks without fail. It's too bad this hilarious British movie can't be seen and appreciated by more North Americans. See more scott s @RT53910647 04/12/2016 Guinness is absolutely wonderful playing Gully Jimson. What I enjoyed about this film is how a scruffy, dirty painter has such a high art form. It makes you think about how much undiscovered talent is in our world because we focus to much on appearances than art. See more s r @ScottR 04/07/2016 Guinness is brilliant. See more 11/18/2015 A nice, light comedy, but an even nicer performance from Alec Guinness who really gets to grips with his volatile and angry artist, so much so we do see a flawed genius in his character. See more 09/27/2015 Guinness plays a rude obnoxious artist who plans to paint a controversial mural. A 1950s banksy if you will See more 09/23/2014 What a strange, really British film. I feel a lot of the comedy is lost in translation. That voice Guinness does is really grating. Can't say I found much that was funny, though parts were enjoyable enough while others went on too long.
