William Holden is today’s featured star on TCM, and though the network has no Network in sight, it does have several other key Holden films. And in prime time, TCM presents this 1957 David Lean epic – another movie that proves when it comes to David Lean and epic, those terms are virtually redundant. The movie won an Oscar for Outstanding Film, and Alec Guinness won a Best Actor Oscar as the leader of British POWs forced, as are the other allied prisoners during WWII, to build a strategic railroad bridge in Indochina. Excellent movie, superb acting – and a theme song you can whistle while they work.
