Good acting. The British soldier who is with the Mayor when he negotiates truce with the German commander. His facial expressions are excellent. It all seemed real enough. A story I had not known much about. A friend had told me a story about his grandfathers neighbor that fit this.

Hollywood’s big screen coverage of one of the most daring and imaginative operations of World War Two, Operation Market-Garden. A cornucopia of popular late 1970’s actors to be gathered for one movie. Fantastic in its scope. Even features a young Anthony Hopkins as Colonel Frost who held Arnhem bridge for almost four days while the rest of his division was tied up in a fiasco of unprecedented scale. Attenborough did well here for bringing Ryan’s book to life. This DVD set is a must for serious military history fans.
A worthy tale of the disaster battle that should have never happened this is one of the few World War 2 DVD's I would recommend for those who want a realistic portrayal of the war. Though I'm nor much for old veterans talking about their exploits the added features make it notable to understand the thinking of the average guy on the front lines. Yes get this DVD even with the occasional flair that Hollywood in some scenes exaggerate it's a must buy prior to an updated Blu-ray edition to your collection.
Great movie, historically, a good effort and entertainment wise it was a very good watch!!

Note that this review is not about any seller of this movie. "A Bridge Too Far" is a re-creation of the 1944 Battle for Arnhem. This DVD movie (2005 issue) is noted as being fairly historically accurate. Good acting, props, special effects even though it's now quite old and doesn't have the add-ons of HD, surround system, etc. About 1 hour from my house, you can still drive there and see the battle sites. Definately worth checking out and a "must" for the historian or militaria collector.
