This massive 1977 adaptation by director Richard Attenborough
(Gandhi) of Cornelius Ryan's novel features an all-star cast in an
epic rendering of a daring but ultimately disastrous raid behind
enemy lines in Holland during the Second World War. A lengthy and
exhaustive look at the mechanics of warfare and the price and
futility of war, the film is almost too large for its aims but
manages to be both picaresque and affecting, particularly in the
performance of James Caan. The impressive cast includes Robert
Redford, Gene Hackman, Anthony Hopkins, Laurence Olivier, Dirk
Bogarde, Sean Connery, and Liv Ullmann among others.
