Colonel Bogey's Bridge

The movie should have been re-titled Mad Nicholson's Bridge.

Mad British pride built the Bridge on the River Kwai. Fighting the Japanese disregard of the Geneva Treaty, ego-maniac Nicholson withstood the cruelty of the Japanese camp commandant, Colonel Saito and eventually took over the building of the bridge from the Japanese.

Good dialogue and some side-show provided by William Holden and Jack Hawkins as the commando group sent out to blow up the bridge.

Memorable 1956 fare especially for the mesmerizing Colonel Bogey whistling tune.

Good movie by Sam Spiegel and David Lean.
