Rex W @RT28578097 Aug 15 If it weren’t for an insufferable and mopey George Segal, who was miscast, and a cheesy Hollywood ending, "The Bridge at Remagen" could have been one of the great war movies of the 1960s. The action scenes are as good as those in other war films from that era. I watch this film every couple of years, and I’m always riveted to my seat. See more Steve N @steveacoustic Aug 9 An excellent and rather overlooked war film. Robert Vaughan conveys a fine, dignified and sympathetic performance - notably avoiding the stereotypical heel-clicking 'Ja mein Fuhrer' personification of German officers in movies - as a weary but duty-bound German, who quickly appreciates the pointlessness of his mission. His presentation contrasts favourably with that of George Segal and Ben Gazzara's brash, loud GIs, who characterisations (no criticism of the actors intended - they are given roles to play and interpret) are more conventional and less sympathetic somehow. The context of the final push into Germany across the Rhine in 1945 is well presented, with the Wehrmacht increasingly on the back foot as the Allies advance ever more speedily. Production on the film was problematic, mostly because of the Russian invasion of Czechoslovakia in 1968, but the unavoidable continuities are patched up rather well. A more thoughtful film than most other 1960s gung-ho war films.

See more Rodney W @Northgate0 Oct 4 While this film has an inevitable storyline, the set piece battle sequences build fantastically to an iconic scene to save the Rhine bridge, led by the cynical presence of George Segal and Ben Gazzara, who wouldn’t be out of place jibing in a MASH tent See more Roy P @RT69480661 08/17/2025 Always a fan of this movie. Realitively velievable story and good acting. I lived in Germany for 7 years and Ive been to the bridge 4 times. The set and area that they used- looks kinda close to the opriginal. Some great actors- fun to watch.

I think you hit the mark to give you a actual look at what it looked like for the GI. 's fighting in Europe. See more Read all reviews
