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
This review is from: The Bridge At Remagen [VHS] [1968] (VHS Tape)
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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Worth seeing if you like WWII action films., 6 April 2009
By S. Nix (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is one of those films you've probably seen bits of on several rainy Sunday afternoons, whilst channel flicking! It is actually a very good film with notable appearances from Robert Vaughn and George Segal.

It recreates the actual events surrounding the battle for, and capture of, the bridge of the films title. It is a well made film with lots of action sequences, quite gritty at times, showing the desperate nature of war, and the struggle to capture a key asset for both Germany and the allies. A small force of Germans lead by Robert Vaughn try to desperately hold back the advancing Americans, who are trying to capture the bridge before the defenders can blow it up.

It is one of those war films that doesn't make you think too much, but has enough depth to make you engage with the characters, with generally good all round acting and dialogue, but the real star of the film is the bridge itself - how does it still manage to stay up?....

Definitely recommended good action flick.
