The Bridges at Toko-Ri Reviews
very bad and poor
Sorry but i totaly disagree with all these positive reviews.I'm a fan of war classic films but this one is a mess.Nothing is moving,action is zero and filming is poor.
we are very far away from dirty dozen,battle of the bulge,midway,enemy below etc....
a total waste of time and money.
Here's One For Mick.
As a Navy brat, this was one of the most revered films by Navy pilots, and war buffs. For once, the stellar looks of Grace Kelly, could not divert you long from this small story of big impact.All flight deck operations and crew protocol are depicted with complete accuracy. When I read of Korean War vets complaining of not having a physical memorial for their experience, I think of "Pork Chop Hill" and this film.Those two films present the unvarnished truth of combat action on the men and their families. Frederick March plays the Admiral, who must maintain his distance and rank privileges without compromising personal feelings. William Holden plays the veteran pilot who's "pushing the envelope" and knows it. Earl Holliman and Mickey Rooney provide humor and hijinks that offset the seriousness of their importance to aircraft operations. The aerial photography is graphic and actual. When the F9F panthers line up at To-ko-ri for their runs, and the oxygen masks start breathing heavy, you're in for a real ride. This war yarn pulls no punches in how it feels sending good men to a violent end in a foreign land far from the comforts of home.
