A Bridge Too Far is a 1977 epic war film based on the 1974 book of the same name by Cornelius Ryan,
adapted by William Goldman. It was produced by Joseph E. Levine and Richard P. Levine and directed
by Richard Attenborough.
The film tells the story of the failure of Operation Market Garden during World War II, the Allied attempt to
break through German lines and seize several bridges in the occupied Netherlands, including one at Arnhem,
with the main objective of outflanking German defenses.
The name for the film comes from an unconfirmed comment attributed to British Lieutenant-General
Frederick Browning, deputy commander of the First Allied Airborne Army, who told Field Marshal
Bernard Montgomery, the operation's architect, before the operation: "I think we may be going a
bridge too far."
The ensemble cast includes Dirk Bogarde, James Caan, Michael Caine, Sean Connery, Edward Fox,
Elliott Gould, Anthony Hopkins, Gene Hackman, Hardy Krüger, Laurence Olivier, Robert Redford
and Maximilian Schell. The music was scored by John Addison, who took part in Market Garden.
The film begins with a montage of archival film footage narrated by a Dutch woman, Kate ter Horst,
describing the state of affairs in September 1944. The Allied advance is being slowed by overextended
supply lines. A Dutch family, part of the Dutch resistance underground, observes the German withdrawal
toward Germany. The Germans in the Netherlands have few resources in men or equipment and morale
is very poor.
U.S. General George S. Patton and British Field Marshal Bernard Montgomery have competing plans for
ending the war quickly, and being the first to get to Berlin. Under political pressure, Supreme Allied
Commander Dwight D. Eisenhower chose Montgomery's Operation Market Garden.
