The Bridge on the River Kwai (1957)

What a year it was! Some great, legendary classics came out in 1957.  But it was The Bridge on the River Kwai that came out on top at the Academy Awards for that year. David Lean's WWII classic about obsession is still as riveting as it was almost seven decades later. With brilliant performances by the entire cast, especially Alec Guinness and Sessue Hayakawa, the film is captivating in every aspect ... including the legendary whistling tune Colonel Bogey March. However, was it deserving of the five Oscars it won, including the Best Picture prize?Listen to film critic Jack Ferdman's take on it as he analyzes everything about The Bridge on the River Kwai, as well as many other films from that year, and hear which film he gives his Rewatch Oscar of 1957.Download, listen, and share ALL Rewatching  Oscar episodes.SUBSCRIBE and FOLLOW Rewatching Oscar:Website: https://rewatchingoscar.buzzsprout.comApple Podcasts/iTunesSpotifyGoogle PodcastsiHeart RadioPodchaserPodcast AddictTuneInAlexaAmazon Overcasts Podcast Addict Player FMRSS Feed: https://feeds.buzzsprout.com/1815964.rssWebsite: https://rewatchingoscar.buzzsprout.comSocial Media Links: Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram, BlueSkyShare your thoughts and suggestions with us through:Facebook Messenger or email us [email protected] or [email protected] by TurpacShow Producer: Jack FerdmanPodcast Logo Design: Jack FerdmanMovie (audio) trailer courtesy of MovieClips Classic TrailersMovie (audio) clips courtesy of YouTubeSupport us by downloading, sharing, and giving us a 5-star Rating.  It helps our podcast continue to reach many people and make it available to share more episodes with everyone.Send us Fan Mail
