Leave your thoughts about The Bridges at Toko-Ri.
| The SpectatorVirginia GrahamWilliam Holden, Grace Kelly, Frederic March and... Mickey Rooney act extremely well. |
| ReelTalk Movie ReviewsDonald J. Levit'The Bridges at Toko-Ri' is still a vehicle for the quiet determination of character that once placed William Holden among the brightest of stars. |
| Reel Times: Reflections on CinemaMark PfeifferThe Bridges at Toko-Ri effectively depicts the sacrifices and courage of those who went to war. |
| User ReviewThomas RProbably the best air war movie ever made. A little Hollywood in spots but the acting and emotional power are beyond compare. It's was just too tough for some critics but it presages the issues that would be rampant in Vietnam. Holden's attention to small acting detail without pretension is superb |
| User ReviewPrivate Uuna pelÃcula que muy pocos han visto, pero si tienen la oportunidad no deben desaprovecharla! |
| User ReviewMark SOne of the first movies to depict the unvarnished and brutal nature of warfare, while still admiring the mettle of bold men who are called to fight. A faithful adaptation of James Michener's novella. We know that our hero is doomed, yet we watch and hope that he will pull through. The cinematography is excellent, in capturing both the majesty of flight and the grittiness of combat. |
| User ReviewJohn MNice book-to-film war story about navy air combat after WWII and the personal turmoil that comes with it. |
| User ReviewErwin AI can go on and on about the outstanding stradling of grimly portraying and at the same time subtly romanticizing Naval Aviators, but I won't. One of the early seeds of my childhood dreams. Grace Kelly and William Holden--nuff said. |
| User ReviewHilary Done of the saddest movies, but it has Bill Holden and Grace Kelly, which is why i still watch it over and over again |
| User ReviewLanning :The wrong war at the wrong time. Still one of the best "futility of war" movies ever made. Holden's performance holds up so well. Those last desperate minutes are gripping, even after many viewings and more than 50 years. And there's Grace Kelly, too. Possibly the best performances ever given by both Mickey Rooney and Earl Holliman. |
