starstarstarstarstar
An intelligent and exciting World War II tale, and the start of director David Lean's "epic" period. Alec Guinness gives an extraordinary performance as a British officer who, with his regiment, has surrendered to the Japanese in Burma in 1943, but flatly refuses to permit his officers to help the enlisted men build an elaborate bridge over the gorge of the River Kwai. William Holden costars as a prison-camp escapee who's sent to the jungle prison to destroy the bridge Guinness' men are now frantically attempting to complete.
