I am currently playing a German March in band that sounds like this. It is frustrating to know that I am the only one in the band that has seen/own this movie
you say Twilight or Transformers I FUCKING SAY 007 JAMES BOND BITCH, clearly UK films are superior to the shit america just pumps out to be wealthy :)
@DrSquidley bourne was ok as a trilogy, godfather was not interesting at all its over hyped :), and yea i am because thoughs are the movies you guys have produced recently, and they type u make alllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll the time, cause your shit :)
@MrConnorize so every film that comes out of the UK is a masterpiece, and recent american films like there will be blood, no country for old men, the social network, are apparently irrelevant? and i'm not trying to say that american cinema is better, i'm saying that the US is evenly matched with the UK, it also seems that you have some immature nationalistic bias against US cinema that stems from a hatred you have of the country, and that isn't even relevant when it comes to judging movies
@DrSquidley all were dragged movies, didnt really keep attention of the viewers, and like come on its not like you guys have good actors anyway, you needed a aussie and a english man for a AMERICAN MMA movie :P. but the us is not close to the uk :), the movies are made just for money of the producers not to have a point, we recently had harry brown did u watch that? no u didnt cause u think us is at par with uk :)
@MrConnorize it doesnt matter where the actors are from, i assure you each of those movies do indeed have a point and the fact that you say that they were "dragged" illustrates that you likely have a shallow appreciation of cinema anyways. UK producers are in it for the money just as much as any american and to suggest otherwise is blatant naivete because without money there are no movies. and no i havent seen harrybrown, but if it was a significant film i wouldve at least heard of it
@DrSquidley What was the point of no country for old men?, there will be blood was about oil ouu, and the social network like really man your trying to compare all that to a movie that actual political and social issues you dont know fuck all about cinema thats sad :P because uk actors are actually trained to become good actors..., really they why does america produce shit like the american pie movies, twilight, the tourist, fantastic four, pirates 4, all so they can get money :P,
I actually own a copy of this indeed rare soundtrack on CD. I bought it off of E-bay from a guy in England about three years ago. It is a fantastic piece of music from one of the greatest war movies ever produced. I had no idea that Mr. Addison was a member of 30 Corps. That is totally awesome!
ok people...one thing missing in this movie...after the american troops crossed that river to clear the way for the British tanks to move on...the movie failed to show how pissed the american commander (Robert Redford character) was when those same British tankers SAT ON THEIR ASSES once across the bridge ,FOR HOURS, while the British paratroopers were being slaughtered in the city.
@SONOFHERO52 Maybe they did - but that was included in the movie and never happened. Brian Johnson who became a famous sports commentator after the war was there and complained to the Director about it. Attenborough said they were paying Robert Redford $1 million so they had to give him something to say.
@freebeerfordworkers ahhh,,,but it DID happen ...AFTER american paratroopers cleared the river crossings ahead....leading brigades of the British armored XXX corps had been ordered to HALT in VALKENSWAARD at 2200 hrs...then slept and boiled Tea around their British Shermans until 0700 hrs the next morning.... before continuing on to ARNHEM ..too LATE to help the british paratroopers...many of the British officers were as pissed as the Americans about this
@SONOFHERO52 You Tube returns to haunt you! I got 4 replies to comments up to 6 months old in just 2 hours! Thankfully yours was the only one not abusive but I was only referring to the Robert Redford scene because the first man over the bridge was a Sargent from Johnson's regiment. That they did not move on is noted in a book I read years ago I think it was "The Battle for the Rhine Bridges". One of the tank officers quoted in it was Lord Carrington later Thatchers foreign secretary.
@lopido The British were NOT morons...many British fought hard and well in that war....but...some of their commanders were morons ( as were a few american commanders), especially Montgomery....he was an overrated egotistical asshole......the British would have been better served if they had made General Alexander their Chief Commander....The movie was about a mistake made (chiefly Montgomery's)...British paratroopers and afterwards, alot of Dutch people paid dearly for his mistake
@SONOFHERO52 So much of what we would call history has pretty much been shaped after the fact good and bad. Your opinion of Montgomery although partly correct he was egotistical but also a brilliant strategist. What is not covered in the film was Gen Gavin’s inability to take Nijmegen within the planned time frame. Secondly this bold operation could have shortened the war by 6 months additionally stopping the Soviet advance into Western Europe an issue both Churchill & Monte were worried about.
@TheBritishEngineer monty let his arrogance and the old ww1 mentality cost 8000 british lifes.it was a a reckless plan,and he ignored reports,cause he wanted to get one up on icke.and im british.he should have been sacked.
It has a real 'boys own' adventure feel to it. I'm sure thats what Addison was going for, ironic given the horror within war and the faliure of the mission.
My grandad fought in this battle. He was one of the guys left behind to cover the retreat and tend the wounded. From what I could gather, war is indeed hell
This is the kind of score that makes you want to stand up out of your sun roof, point to the horizon and pretend you're leading a column of tanks, even if it just to the supermarket to get a pint of milk.
the images of the shermans are fantastics, wacht one more time a video called " rebuilding son", is very awesome to wacht the shermans crossing the grave bridge!
I love this theme song, unlike many war movie themes that concentrate on the tragic and sad part of war, this theme exemplifies the heroism, courage, and sacrifices that were made to rescue the world from Nazi tyranny!
Yea Patlke 100 you do that cause now all it is is crap all huge Movies with love and drama no Historical Stuff all crap. But Remember you have to have some battle in it and you know what is stupid most people cant even get props right i have seen " shermans " that look like Panzers and even tanks that weren't from that era
What a great War Movie they dont show movies like that no more its all a bunch of Bull Crap.Like in Pearl Harbor they only talk a little bit of history and the rest is just a love story the samething in Titanic.If I ever get my degree in Director Im going to make movies that actually talk about history and not have another story in it like a love story just the way it happened
I would have to agree everything down to the uniforms and the story in itself is historically accurate. However, I don't mind the use of a love element incorporated in the story like Titanic at least it was closer to historically accurate than Pear Harbor will ever be, it sucked. A Bridge Too Far is underrated.
My dear dad [ still alive aged 85] was in one of those tanks aged 18 and survived. He loved this film as it did justice to those times .He did make a couple of emotional visits back to Holland before ill health finally took its toll . Thanks for the clip.
Thanks for your kind comments . He was in the second or third battalion Irish Guards. He never conidered himself a hero at all but very lucky . He disliked any form of violence but was proud of being a guardsman. In the tank he was a loader /gunner? He also operated the radio I think. several of his mates were killed and I'm sure he had recurrent nightmares that he kept quiet about .
I speak as a vet and an American and I can say I would have rather served under Monty than Patton... Monty cared for his troops more than Patton did.
Both had huge egos but then again what career officer doesn't.
About your Moscow statement is totally BS by someone who does not know history, the Soviets were not pussies and according to many historians the Soviets won WW2 for the Allies.
You've got that right...if the Sovs hadn't bled Hitler white, the Wehrmacht would've been sitting in Piccadilly and the Yanks would've been falling over themselves making peace with the Germans and the Japs and thanking God that they had broad oceans on either side.
and to be honest, Hitler helped us himself by ordering Guderian not to pursue us when we were trapped at Dunkirk, we got were lucky due to toe Goerring;'s destroy us from the air boast. The we got lucky again when we had the English Channel for defense. Had he gotten over at tthe that time our army was in no shape to repel him.
lonedove@ I agree, but cany you imaging Monty and Patton working together with German (and French) help invading the USSR. They would be in Moscow before Christmas.
That's what they should have done. Hitler didn't play his cards right at all. He should have left the Jews alone, and badgered Churchill and the French to help Germany attack Communist Russia. Communism was the real enemy, no the Jews.
Me or someone else Do you mean LongbowAH64? if you mean me, then I admit I should have worded it better. Coming back to it, it looks like I may have thought that Hitler aided us on purpose.
Keeps playing in my head as I try to finish my last essay. Just one more and I have an honours History degree. It's that 'Just one more more that worries me here...'
Yeah but it's worth remembering that this wasn't an altruistic action. We fought the Germans with American weapons that when got smashed up we had to pay for later. The 'hose' speach by FDR also kind of leaves out the bit where your neighbours fire is started by a Panzerkampwagen...
@ Fredgrumby I believe the channel was far more important a factor than the Yanks at keeping the Germans out of England. Don't forget the war had been going on for over two years before the Yanks had a *suprise* attack. In the middle of a global war. Silly Yanks
I'm inclined to agree with you sir. Had we not had the Enblish Channel there, th Germans would have just kept driving forwards. And with it being only 22 miles at the closest point, they would hve been at Dover in matter or hours. The Channel bought us the time we needed to rally.
I do also thank Roosevelt for doing everything he could to aid us whilst arguing down a mostly hostile establishment. He wanted to do more.
Though the American involvement was both needed and ultimately positive. I also agree FDR did a good job of winning over a very isolationist people to support us though
Aye, Whilst not perfect, he did probably the best job he could, I wonder if he attached a number of fianancial strictures as a sop to ahositle Estblishment?
In what way were the americans to blame ? both the 101st and 82nd airborne divisions were the cream of the american army and fought incredibly bravely. im no fan of US forces but these 2 divisions were on a par with any other units that fought in the second world war
Okay don't cry i was joking... Anyway i know why the shit hit the fan and the yanks were no where near Arnhem so if you know anything you woulda said that ^^
...uhhh.. no because i am not retarded nor am i a pickle. Shame did you think your insult was original because i here that all that time from non constructive yanks.
but it does suit you as if you had a brain you would have checked and realised that i am not a yank but an englishman and im sure my comment wasnt original as im sure you have put up many stupid comments on other subjects in the past that you have absolutely no idea of what you are talking about. soim sure you are used to being calleda complete twat and surely wont be offended when i call you it again
Wow seriously you expect me to go onto your fucking profile to be sure whether your English or not, if you didn't act like such a dick i wouldn't of mistaken you for a Yank oh well your still a twat so stop talking to me and gtfo.
...Its a youtube comment, there is no need to be perdantic with grammar and spelling its no English essay... Would you like me to judge yours..? Okay: 'dude' = 'Dude' its beginning of a sentence.. tut tut. 'Ass' ...'Arse' and end of a sentence is followed by a full stop '.' Don't be a hypocrite and whine about shit like grammar and spelling. Get a job.
It is a very good movie, with great actors and huge production, and have a script about army fails, for me it is more interesting that other war movies that talk about heroes, courage and duty.
a good film yes but also a very inacurate one im afraid , for the true story read cornelius ryans book a bridge too far, im afraid american money paid for this even though it had a british director a few porky pies were added to make US troops look like they did more than they actually did , for instance the taking of nijmagen bridge. the grenadiers took the bridge not the 82nd airborne as is portrayed in the film but thats not to take anything away from the incredible valour of the US troops
so the officer from the 82nd airborne who details in his account the river assault and the storming of the bridge in the special features of the dvd was lying???
No I am not saying anyone is lying , firstly there are / were 2 bridges at nijmagen a railway bridge and a road bridge. so he may have been talking about the railway bridge also he may have meant the north end of the bridge which the americans held after there assault but the actual crossing of the bridge was by the grenadier guards under fire from germans on the bridge and also a young lieutenant jones of the royal engineers was following the tanks cutting wires and removing demolition charges
I forgot to say last time, I like your post. This theme is catching. 600 light infantry vs the brunt of a full strength SS Panzer battalion. For around four days...
I wonder what Patton made of Operation Market Garden ? He probably knew that Monty would screw up at Arnhem, needlessly sacrificing a whole division of airborne troops.
He was probably more angry that he didn't get the resources he needed for his offensive through southern Germany. He probably could've ended the war quicker and captured Berlin instead of the Soviets, which just may have prevented the division of Germany and the city. This is of course entirely hypothetical.
Patton wasn´t really unbiased. And frankly, given the knowledge of the situation that the allies had at the time, Market Garden was a risky, but very much possible operation that´d have made the war a good deal shorter in case of success. It was literally the best shot they had. Going south? Heh, good luck with the Siegfried line at full strenght and bringing tank columns through the black forest.
action was in my country but there where almost no fire flys used thy look difrent but its too bad the british lads lost. I feel bad for the guys in bastone end arnhem.
It's a shame General Patton was told to stop at Falaise. Had he completed his surrounding of the German army, WWII would have ended right there. It was wrong to call him blood and guts. His plans resulted in fewer casualties, nothing like this debacle.
Yes, if Patton had done as he was supposed to have done, a large part of the German army in the west would be surrounded at Falaise. He didn't, it wasn't and well, the war went on a lot longer.
Personally, out of the US Commanders I always thought Bradley the better. More rational, but not as cautious as his British counterparts. A good balance between attack and conserving his own forces. Patton was just a psychopathic nutjob who got lucky, not skillful.
Au contrare, General Patton was skillful, planned his operations meticulously, suffered fewer losses of men than the other generals. Many of the tactics in Bradley's Operation Cobra came from Patton, who did not mind.
exelente melodia, la verdad fue la mayor operacion aerotransportada de la la guerra desafortunadamente la ania adversion de los generales aliados llevaron a una falta en la coordinacion, que en parte condujo al desastre que fue.
pero esos hombres polacos, ingleses, estado unidenses merecen ser recordados heroicamente. desafortunadamente esa carretera del infierno costo mas vidas de lo que parecia. please translate it, its my oppinion
Shame that last bridge at Antwerp wasn't taken.Then we could have pushed our armor across the full front that we wanted to with little resistance and end WW II in Europe before Christmas. That way the dang Soviet Union would not have had so much land and the Cold War would probably not have happend. If it did, then we would have had more democratic allies than communist enemies. Market Garden was 90% successfull, but we didn't get a full hold to push into Germany. Paratroppers still my heroes!!!
Well, the actual filming of the bridge at Arnhem was done in Deventer for the film. This was because it represented the most accurate setting. Most of the original buildings were destroyed around the bridge in Arnhem during the German counterattack in operation Market Garden. And the rest of the film shooting was done, as you said, around Nijmegen and Arnhem.
John Addison went to the same school as actor Christopher Lee (2 years difference between them)
Johnny Frost and his part Para brigade were magnificent in this battle, even afterwards the American high command paid tribute and homage to the spirit and fighting ability of the British army here. Legends.
Bad high rank decisions and bad luck was the problem though.

About your Moscow statement is totally BS by someone who does not know history, the Soviets were not pussies and according to many historians the Soviets won WW2 for the Allies.

You've got that right...if the Sovs hadn't bled Hitler white, the Wehrmacht would've been sitting in Piccadilly and the Yanks would've been falling over themselves making peace with the Germans and the Japs and thanking God that they had broad oceans on either side.

and to be honest, Hitler helped us himself by ordering Guderian not to pursue us when we were trapped at Dunkirk, we got were lucky due to toe Goerring;'s destroy us from the air boast. The we got lucky again when we had the English Channel for defense. Had he gotten over at tthe that time our army was in no shape to repel him.

lonedove@ I agree, but cany you imaging Monty and Patton working together with German (and French) help invading the USSR. They would be in Moscow before Christmas.

That's what they should have done. Hitler didn't play his cards right at all. He should have left the Jews alone, and badgered Churchill and the French to help Germany attack Communist Russia. Communism was the real enemy, no the Jews.

Yeah but it's worth remembering that this wasn't an altruistic action. We fought the Germans with American weapons that when got smashed up we had to pay for later. The 'hose' speach by FDR also kind of leaves out the bit where your neighbours fire is started by a Panzerkampwagen...

@ Fredgrumby I believe the channel was far more important a factor than the Yanks at keeping the Germans out of England. Don't forget the war had been going on for over two years before the Yanks had a *suprise* attack. In the middle of a global war. Silly Yanks
davrosthebadger 2 years ago
I'm inclined to agree with you sir. Had we not had the Enblish Channel there, th Germans would have just kept driving forwards. And with it being only 22 miles at the closest point, they would hve been at Dover in matter or hours. The Channel bought us the time we needed to rally.
I do also thank Roosevelt for doing everything he could to aid us whilst arguing down a mostly hostile establishment. He wanted to do more.

Though the American involvement was both needed and ultimately positive. I also agree FDR did a good job of winning over a very isolationist people to support us though

a good film yes but also a very inacurate one im afraid , for the true story read cornelius ryans book a bridge too far, im afraid american money paid for this even though it had a british director a few porky pies were added to make US troops look like they did more than they actually did , for instance the taking of nijmagen bridge. the grenadiers took the bridge not the 82nd airborne as is portrayed in the film but thats not to take anything away from the incredible valour of the US troops

No I am not saying anyone is lying , firstly there are / were 2 bridges at nijmagen a railway bridge and a road bridge. so he may have been talking about the railway bridge also he may have meant the north end of the bridge which the americans held after there assault but the actual crossing of the bridge was by the grenadier guards under fire from germans on the bridge and also a young lieutenant jones of the royal engineers was following the tanks cutting wires and removing demolition charges

I wonder what Patton made of Operation Market Garden ? He probably knew that Monty would screw up at Arnhem, needlessly sacrificing a whole division of airborne troops.
kealyc 2 years ago 5
He was probably more angry that he didn't get the resources he needed for his offensive through southern Germany. He probably could've ended the war quicker and captured Berlin instead of the Soviets, which just may have prevented the division of Germany and the city. This is of course entirely hypothetical.

adamski010 2 years ago
Patton wasn´t really unbiased. And frankly, given the knowledge of the situation that the allies had at the time, Market Garden was a risky, but very much possible operation that´d have made the war a good deal shorter in case of success. It was literally the best shot they had. Going south? Heh, good luck with the Siegfried line at full strenght and bringing tank columns through the black forest.
It´d be like Huertgen Forest, just worse.

It's a shame General Patton was told to stop at Falaise. Had he completed his surrounding of the German army, WWII would have ended right there. It was wrong to call him blood and guts. His plans resulted in fewer casualties, nothing like this debacle.
mpjrdldn 2 years ago
Yes, if Patton had done as he was supposed to have done, a large part of the German army in the west would be surrounded at Falaise. He didn't, it wasn't and well, the war went on a lot longer.
Personally, out of the US Commanders I always thought Bradley the better. More rational, but not as cautious as his British counterparts. A good balance between attack and conserving his own forces. Patton was just a psychopathic nutjob who got lucky, not skillful.

Au contrare, General Patton was skillful, planned his operations meticulously, suffered fewer losses of men than the other generals. Many of the tactics in Bradley's Operation Cobra came from Patton, who did not mind.

Shame that last bridge at Antwerp wasn't taken.Then we could have pushed our armor across the full front that we wanted to with little resistance and end WW II in Europe before Christmas. That way the dang Soviet Union would not have had so much land and the Cold War would probably not have happend. If it did, then we would have had more democratic allies than communist enemies. Market Garden was 90% successfull, but we didn't get a full hold to push into Germany. Paratroppers still my heroes!!!

Well, the actual filming of the bridge at Arnhem was done in Deventer for the film. This was because it represented the most accurate setting. Most of the original buildings were destroyed around the bridge in Arnhem during the German counterattack in operation Market Garden. And the rest of the film shooting was done, as you said, around Nijmegen and Arnhem.
