For that extra touch of authenticity, many of the battles were
recreated on actual battlefield locations. A Bridge Too Far features
an all-star cast with the likes of: Sean Connery, Anthony Hopkins,
Gene Hackman, Robert Redford, Laurence Olivier, Ryan O'Neal, Elliott
Gould, Michael Caine and James Caan. The story is about Operation
Market Garden which included the largest airborne assault in military
history and became one of the costliest battles of World War II. The
all-star cast was also one of the costliest casts assembled up to that
point but Director Richard Attenborough and Producer Joseph Levine
agreed that it was well worth the expense. Judging from the end
result, I would also agree. |
