Making A Bridge Too Far

Autor Simon Lewis
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 7 mai 2024
A Bridge Too Far, released in 1977, was the last epic WWII movie made in the Hollywood studio system. Its ambitious goal: to recreate the Allied plan Operation Market-Garden in September 1944. The plan was a disaster for the Allies, with the battle for the Arnhem bridge vicious as the British First Airborne held out against overwhelming odds. Producer Joseph E. Levine packed his cast with top stars Anthony Hopkins, Robert Redford, Sean Connery, James Caan, Michael Caine, Elliott Gould, Dirk Bogarde, and Laurence Olivier and shot on location in and around Arnhem. Making ‘ A Bridge Too Far’ answers WWII buffs’ questions about the production. Author Simon Lewis interviewed many in the cast and crew and uncovered a story about bringing WWII to life in 1976 Holland with vintage tanks and aircraft, legions of stunt men and paratroopers, all led by director Sir Richard Attenborough. Making ‘ A Bridge Too Far’ will prove a delight for armchair generals and lovers of old Hollywood. Fun facts: Dutch survivors of the war had no patience for actors dressed as German soldiers; Dirk Bogarde was a British war veteran who had participated in Market-Garden and bore the mental scars to prove it.

Recenzii

"What sets Lewis’ account apart from all others is an absolutely exhaustive amount of interviews with the principles involved, from the director and screenwriter to the assistant directors, cast and small army of extras who played the soldiers throughout the impressive background of the film. Check out Simon Lewis’ book for the most complete possible version of the story behind the story." —Christopher Lloyd, Film Yap
