This massive 1977 adaptation by director Richard Attenborough (Gandhi) of
Cornelius Ryan's novel features an all-star cast in an epic rendering of a daring
but ultimately disastrous raid behind enemy lines in Holland during the Second
World War. A lengthy and exhaustive look at the mechanics of warfare and the
price and futility of war, the film is almost too large for its aims but manages
to be both picaresque and affecting, particularly in the performance of James
Caan. The impressive cast includes Robert Redford, Gene Hackman, Anthony Hopkins,
Laurence Olivier, Dirk Bogarde, Sean Connery, and Liv Ullmann among others.
While not a classic war film, it nevertheless manages to be a consistently interesting
and exciting adventure
