Amazon.co.uk Review
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 US Army's exhausted 27th Armoured Infantry, assigned to seize the bridge at Remagen, on the Rhine river, to prevent 50,000 German troops from retreating to safety. Lt Hartman (George Segal) leads the mission, while a Nazi major (Robert Vaughn) defies orders by attempting to hold the bridge instead of blowing it up. With strong emphasis on war's harsher realities, the film's compelling characters 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. This is highly recommended. --Jeff Shannon, Amazon.com

5.0 out of 5 stars Good Insight, 27 Oct 2002
By A Customer
The Bridge at Remagen is one of the few American films that gives the viewer an insight into the German side of things. You can nearly feel the desperation of some of the Germans as the Allies close in on them in march 1945. While Major Krüger tries to control his own men and townspeople he must also destroy the bridge or face death.

2.0 out of 5 stars Bridge at Remagen....A bridge not far enough, 10 Jan 2005
By R Heather (Portland, Dorset England) - See all my reviews
Although this film has authentic battle scenes, the character portrayal lets it down. It is typical US gung-ho, with wise-cracking, seriously flawed characters who seem to have no dicipline or respect for officers. This is hardly surprising as the most senior officer seems to be incompetent. If one is content with the film being more about the dodgy characters than about the battle... who knows? you might enjoy it.
