Notes

Summary <p>Welcome to A Pod Too Far, where authors Robert Hutton and Duncan Weldon sit down each week to rewatch a classic war movie. Today, it's the big one: Richard Attenborough's A Bridge Too Far. The big budget depiction of Operation Market Garden – the Allied forces' failed attempt to seize the bridges at Arnhem – had one of the great casts of cinema history. Sean Connery and Anthony Hopkins, Robert Redford and Dirk Bogarde, Michael Caine, Gene Hackman, Laurence Olivier, James Caan, the list goes on. But is it actually any good as a movie?
