@stevehenry1 - i did watch the movie, probably before you were born. by building that bridge he kept his troops alive longer and yes his brain got warped in that he wanted the bridge to survive. all these men had malaria, dengue fever, parasites and those that went in the "cooler" went half mad. among other things, read A Town Called Alice Springs and another good one - is Land of the Morning by Jean McMurdie. the Japanese had no intention of wasting food on POW's unless they worked.
Thank you for your support of The Bridge on the River Kwai! We'd love to share more clips and trailers with you. Watch them on our YouTube channel! youtube.com/columbiaclassics!
if you watched the movie it shows that officers are the same, no matter what army you have. they get off throwing their weight around. here, the Brits help the Japs build the bridge so he can force his troops to work and snub the Japs. Col Bogey was a traitor giving aid to the enemy in forcing them to build the Japs that bridge.
@stevehenry1 the Colonel was Nicholson, not Bogey. Col Bogey is an old march from before WWI. secondly, it has nothing to do with snubbing the Japanese but keeping his troops alive. if you weren't working for the Japanese, they would just as soon shoot you. we had a family friend captured early in WWII and spent the rest of the war as a 'wharf rat' loading grain on Japanese transport ships and eating dropped rice and rats. i suppose you'd consider him a traitor & Pappy Boyington too.
@nyteschade YOU obviously didn't watch the movie. The Brits took over buiding and engineering the bridge because the Japs were failing--he was showing the Japs that Brits were superior engineers. Also, near the end- when the demolition charges were placed the Colonel tried to cut the wires. He was willing to kill his own men to save the bridge. He did not want the bridge destroyed, even though it was aiding the enemy
There is a big difference in forced labor and aiding the enemy
its an awesome song! just the sound it gets your moral up! in the portuguese military training when you do many push ups because a certain superior said so the cadets just start wihstling to him!
this reminds me of my grandfather,he was colonel in the army. he used to whistle this all the time. miss him ever still. wish i could here him whistle this one more time.
Yeah, the NZ in ANZAC often gets overlooked. Highest proportional fatalities in WW2 and highest proportional service rate in WW1, for Allies, Axis and Central Powers.
Shangas.....thanks for the email with the words to "Hitler has only got one ball".....It's hilarious. I have a recommendation for you and all who enjoy "Hitler humor" find Spike Jones on YouTube and look for "In Der Fuhrers Face" also quite funny. I understand that the little corporal wasn't too thrilled with that one.......but this is only rumor.
reminds me when I was working in Squires Bingham(Armscor Corp) in Marikina, Philippines, where we whistle the song while walking, about half kilometer, to reach the factory every morning.
we were the first batch to transfer to the new site, My other co workers were Packing, Momoy,Logie, Erning,and Jake(san Pedro)
I started whistling this out of the blue and my friend started and asked what song it was,, we both had no clue and called everyone we knew to find out. it took hours but finally we know! I was colonel bogeyed and will now mischievously colonel bogey the unsuspecting!!
You must try the game that my friends and I used to play and still sometimes do! Pick a person, and anytime you see that person, whistle this tune. Get the others to do it when they see them to, it work best when there's about 3 or 4 of you. It makes people completely paranoid! We pick this song because it's so catchy, people that don't even know what you're doing will whistle it too! See how mental you can make people by colnel bogeying them, and report back here!

Weil es stimmt der „Führer hatte keinen „Führer-Schein aber Autobahnen bauen -- & nebenbei mit einem Hoden die Welt verwirren & knechtend
.. ich sehe es nur noch als lächerliche Ironie an ich kann mich nur schämen dabei habe ich nichts gemacht - .. aber wenn ich mir so alles betrachte -. als schwirrender Salugy ich hätte viele Sachen besser machen können
##Z - aber was ist mit Dir - dieser Satz „ ich weiß mehr verwirrt
Was mit mir ist? Fürn Anfang sei gesagt dass ich gerne lüge.
Und wozu braucht der Führer einen Führerschein wenn er nicht Auto fahren kann, das erklär mir mal? Nebenbei ist er doch geradezu ein Altruist wenn er dann Autobahnen baut - das Ei hat er wahrscheinlich auch gespendet wie mir scheint.
Und warum kommst du mir andauernd mit dem Führer, der ist seit mehr als 60 Jahren tot und mein kollektives Gedächtnis haut in letzter Zeit nicht mehr so richtig hin. Gibts da nichts neues, kann doch nicht sein dass das Menschengeschlecht den in 60 Jahren nicht überbieten konnte.
Du kannst alles überbieten in Dummheit - der Hochsprung liegt irgendwo bei 2,40 oder 2 .. 3 Zentimeter höher -- ausgereizt
Dummheit & Zerstörungswut haben keine Grenzen - diese Persiflage von Chaplin ist einfach nur komisch- - der Reagan der Nachkriegszeit; - Stümperei der Vorkriegszeit --- der Crusty
##Z - wobei ich sagen möchte, dass ich Reagan gut fand weil er tat; - was er konnte -- & die Arbeit seinem Beraterstab überlies
Vermutlich hat er auch nie auf jemanden geschossen - darin bin dann selbst ich ihm voraus - aber viel wichtiger; was hat der Raabe (sic!) ausgebrütet? Die Schmach von Verdun?
I watched this movie in Mexico City back in 1957. they used to sell the music at the end of the movie; I bought the 45 rpm record and I still have it intact.
I remember this catchy tune on my Dad's Hollywood greats record as a boy, but it's just become more significant, visiting the bridge today, riding part of the railway and also remembering those who were made to build it in unimaginable conditions, having also visited the grave park for them not far from the bridge, thousands of them died. If in Thailand, definately worth a visit.
Interesting but what does this have to do with this video? This movie deals with the Japanese using British prisoners of war to build a railroad during W.W.II

Hitler, he only had one ball,
Goering, had two but they were small,
Himmler, had something similar,
And Keitel was too close to call.
Rommel, had four or five, I guess,
No on, is sure 'bout Rudolf Hess.
Schmelling..was always yelling..
And Mister Go-balls had no balls at all.

Hitler has only got one ball
Goering's are hardly there at all,
Himmler's got two sim'lar
but poor old Goebbles has no balls at all.
I suspect there were many versions, mostly based on 'misheard' versions from elsewhere.

Hitler has only got one ball,
The other is in the albert hall,
His mother, the dirty bugger,
Chopped it off him when he was still small.
She tied it, upon a conker tree, (Also: "She threw it, out over Germany")
The wind came, and blew it out to sea,
The fishes,
Got out their dishes,
And had scallops and bollocks for tea!
