A film of the heroic but ultimately doomed Arnhem operation where British and allied parachutists seized and tried to hold a bridge in Arnhem far behind the front line from the Germans in World War 2. Unlike the 1970s epic
A Bridge too Far, this film does not star any actors but soldiers who actually fought in the battle a couple of years before and using original equipment.
A tremendous film this is too, though things can be a bit stilted and awkward when the non-actors have to act (though there has been much worse done in films by real actors!) The re-enactment schemes are amazing and very accurate.
Propaganda perhaps but that is not always a bad thing.
