Quell'ultimo ponte
Tre mesi sono passati dallo sbarco in Normandia. Il comando alleato cerca di affrettare la fine della guerra con l'operazione "Market-Garden": 35.000 paracadutisti vengono lanciati in Olanda per impadronirsi di diversi ponti sulla Mosa, sul Waal e sul Reno. Dovranno poi tenerli fino all'arrivo delle truppe corazzate. Le cose non vanno però come il comando si aspettava: il ponte di Arnhem non cade nelle mani degli alleati e si trasforma in una trappola per i paracadutisti inglesi.

The Nazis were part of that one right? Anyway, this movie has everyone in it, just about everyone …
Usually when you read the term "stellar" applied to a cast, it's more for marketing purposes to convince us that the cast is better than we might want to think - well not so, here. Connery, Caine, O'Neal, Olivier, Bogarde, Hackman, Hopkins, Caan, Schell & Liv Ullmann all chip into this true telling of "Operation Market Garden" - a co-ordinated attempt by the allies to use almost anything that will…
