Tonight we watched one of the most powerful films of the '50s, "Bridge on the River Kwai." We were one again captivated by the tragic, misguided, mad efforts of Alec Guiness, Colonel Nicholson, to cling to the principals of the honorable soldier. It is a brilliant performance. A brilliant screenplay. A movie almost too painful to watch. I've seen this film probably five times. It never gets easier.
