Amazon.com essential video:
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. --Robert Lane

Rating: 
- A Bridge to Far
One of the most accurate accounts of the tragedy of "Operation Market Garden", a debacle brought about by the arrogance and incompetency of British Field Marshall Bernard Montgomery. The film is excellent in it's historical content, gives the viwer a real sense of having been there.
EXCELLENT!!!!!
Rating: - Great Movie
Great Movie that I have always enjoyed, and this time get it at a bargain price and high quality.
Rating: 
- Over-rated and not especially entertaining
This movie has a star-studded cast that probably intrigues everyone to watch it, but a lot of the American cast seems to be playing spot cameo roles rather than being significant in contribution or in memorable acting jobs.Redford isn't seen until the movie is half over and he's most standing around.Ryan O'Neal as a commanding general is improbable and he sounds like he's reading 3rd grade text books. James Caan's role is bewildering altogether.Gene Hackman follows suit with the others.After ... Read More

- Looks and sounds no better than standard DVD
Great movie, but I was extremely disappointed with the quality of this Blu-ray version.So my rating is not for the movie itself which I would give between 4 and 5 stars.I give it two stars on the technical quality. The video quality was no better than the standard DVD, which I already own, and the audio might even be worse than the standard DVD.All in All a very poor transfer to Blu-ray, do not waste your money on this version.
