True Story of the Bridge on the River Kwai

"This story is historically accurate - no punches pulled. It's not a "Hollywood" fairy tale entertainment as the 1957 movie turned out to be - this is real and worth adding to your library. Not only is it a great historical epic, but it also pays tribute to the hundreds/thousands of men who died building not one, but two bridges over the River Kwai. I'd recommend this to anyone interested in history of WWII in the Pacific Theater."
Shame on Hollywood

"After seeing this on the actual history channel I had to get a copy for myself and my WWII history buff brother in law. It tells the REAL story of the Bridge over the river Kwai which was so misrepresented by the movie that came out of Hollywood. It was no bunch of whistling soldiers---it was a death camp. A must for anyone who collects WWII movies and information."

"This was a good review of the "True" story. I visited the Bridge last year and was very touched at the site and the suffering that took place at this place. This film is well presented."
Very well done

"Very well done. Totally different from the movie we are all use to seeing.
This should be watched by anyone going to visit that area of the world."
