Bridge at Remagen (1969) trailer

[LotrFC]

Fortunately it is not the usual propaganda shit, but a little bit more realistic, roughly historical correct and does not degenerate in the somekind obligatory glorification of the Americans.

Just one thing: If they produce such films one could expect that they are able to utter the name of the city correctly ;D

[KoMmIzZaR98]

If only m24 Chafee tanks were on Company of Heroes!

[janborrowitz]

Our Communist party gave americans leave to make this movie in CZ because of a great deal of american dollars. No hate, no fight agains capitalism, no prejudices against american slavers. Thats funny

[KoMmIzZaR98]

2nd most underrated war film ever, behind the eagle has landed, in my opinion.

[Calburtonreid]

The tanks are m24 chaffees accurate armour for the films setting

[Faxe90Swe]

At 1:01, an American T-34?!

[motownmaniax]

One of the best war movies of the 60's. I've got this on DVD. Also have a DVD with both "Kelly's Heroes" and "The Dirty Dozen:, a great two-fer.

[macsters451]

This movie was filmed  in Czechoslovakia and just barely got finished. When the Soviet Army invaded the country the movie crew had to blow outta Dodge PDQ.

[PatIke100]

Must be a Hell of a Movie

[pepsiCed]

@PatIke100 Oh it is!!!!!!!!!!! Really

[seeker6797]

Still one of the best war movies around

[laiyulun]

1945年3月初 為攻佔這座進入德國鐵橋 美軍與德軍激戰10天 至少5萬名德軍成功經此橋逃回德國 守橋 德軍中校本應因此掩護大勝利被升將軍卻沒有 因為他希望美軍進德國擋住戰後蘇聯 所以抗令沒有毀橋 非常戲劇性精彩戰爭片 經典

[DEP717]

This is one of my favorite movies ever. Thank you for posting this trailer.

In my opinion this is Robert Vaughan's best role, and Ben Gazzara was awesome in this.

[000000AEA000000]

its propaganda but it is a great movie

[DEP717]

I love the soundtrack, it is like the blend of a fine European waltz tune with an American western theme, and it fits perfectly.

[swanningaround]

Another great movie. Shows off the fine skill of the American GIs as opposed to the clearly inferior German forces. The Germans must have been mad to take on the finest army the world had ever seen.

[Anders2185]

The finest Army the world had ever seen was the German army of 1940! At the outbreak of WW2 every other army in the world was in a very poor antiquated state. At the time this film is set the Germans were in disarray and in full retreat from the overwhelming advance of the Red Army and the allies.

[swanningaround]

Anders. Disagree. The finest army that the world had ever seen fought is the United States marines that fought at Guadalcanal. They beat the second finest army in the world, the Imperial Japanese Army which destroyed the Australian Army in Singapore. The most famous units were Easy Company at the Battle of Biastogne and the Sioux Indians at the Battle of the Little Big Horn.

[Anders2185]

I dont see no reason why the marines at Guadalcanal were any better than any other unit. If we're talking of famous units, why not D Company Ox & Bucks light infantry or 2nd Battalion the Paras 1st Airbourne? They're only famous cos they've had their exploits published so much, if BoB had never been made I bet they'd stay relatively unknown.

[swanningaround]

Anders. Easy Company has always been famous. My relative met their soliders once. They were famous. He also met a Soviet leader. Who is more famous - the Soviet leader or the leader of Easy Company? The Soviet had power of life and death. He will be forgotten. Dick Winters will never be forgotten.

[Anders2185]

If there were no books about them or the tv series I doubt if they would have been as widely known by the public as now. I'd never heard of them till the TV series.

[swanningaround]

Anders. Easy Company was the best crack unit of the war. It was famous before the Band of Brothers series. Stephen Ambrose tracked the greatest heroes of WW2 and bought them out so that young people today will know. He also mentions my relative in his book. That's why I now know that my relative actually was honoed to meet the men of Easy Company!! This must have been the highlight of his career.

[Anders2185]

Not famous to the masses though, vast majority of people had never heard of them until BOB, dispite the book. Best crack unit? Tell the SAS that, or the Commandos or the US Rangers. I don't give a monkeys toss about your relative either, so stop blowing your familys trumpet.

[swanningaround]

I am proud of what my relative did. He was thanked by the Dutch. Back to Easy Company. You have to be educated that they were one of the best if not the best in the war.

[Anders2185]

They were just one Infantry Company, just one of 1000's, 150 men out of over 3,500,000 allied soldiers. They weren't fucking super humans, just good soldiers. I have to be educated about what they did? Any other company would have done the damn same. Alot of companies, (not just allied) have done substantially more! What is it with you, you sound brain washed.

[CHANNELOMD]

What soviet leader? .You are fucking full of bullshit

[swanningaround]

The Soviet leader was one of the deputies later in the USSR. His name was Zhukov. Not many here will know who Zhukov is. Everyone knows Winters.

[CHANNELOMD]

are you kidding,I really suspect your sanity

[swanningaround]

No. Zhukov was a deputy and was also a Soviet leader. I have mentioned this before.

[CHANNELOMD]

Well said,swanningaround wants a fucking medal for things his family apparentley did

[Solechnaya]

Great nonetheless.

[regenbogen987]

If you go to Remagen the'll tell you the real story. The yanks were really pleased with themselves at taking the bridge.They filled it with tanks, trucks and troops.Never miss a photo oppertunity.The bridge simply collapsed

[jojoflynnlucylynn]

i know a lot about wwII but when i watch a film im just looking for entertainment, good actors, good action NO ROMANCE and another thing i love their trailers are always long.

[MusicIs4ever6621]

*Sigh* Good ol Great Uncle Ben

[ePhilosopher]

wow wish we had constructed some ramen noodles, lucky tiger caging ragin cajuns! Geaux Tigers! Prohibitions court? well, never mind, flapper. Bathtub gin most immediate says Blaze the stripper Guest Star

[828centrum]

Filmed in 1968 in former Czechoslowakia, on the Vltava river. There´s a urban legend saying that the real purpose of coming there to film the movie was to find, dig out and safely take abroad the Nazi´s treasure of Stechovice (reputedly hidden at 1945 by german high rank officers not far from there)

[Solechnaya]

Interesting. I heard that it was actually filmed at Remagen. Turns out, no.

[TheGroundedAviator]

@828centrum Great Story!

[snakes3425]

@828centrum

The actual reason was that West Germany wouldn't allow the company to film at Remagen because of heavy shipping on the Rhine River but it wouldn't shock me if the urban legend maybe true if the treasure still has yet to be found

[janborrowitz]

@828centrum re right eng....what the shame, this film was a pretext for the soviet military occupation of Czechoslovakia

[hedujg26]

Great movie! George Segal is one of my favorite actors.

[hache332]

according to germans, this film has little to do with the real facts...

[dissershock]

the germans are right

[cutespice]

thanks for posting this video!

[dissershock]

they used 1960's tanks... too bad

[sek195]

and 60s sunglasses :) pathetic

[dissershock]

...damn hollywood

[edestci]

M-24 Chaffee

[edestci]

Actor Joachim Hansen as Hauptmann Otto Baumann in the film  died in Berlin this year 13-9-07

[HumIntOps]

Damn.

[zerstorer335]

How, exactly, do you "guest star" in a movie?

[HumIntOps]

I dont know LOL.

[Cool2BCeltic]

That's a very good point

[HumIntOps]

Ours or thiers? Enemy sir.

[serterss]

ey türkler bu film çok güzell abii mutlaka bakın

[Darkstar9412]

Yeah, this is the last level of COD:Finest Hour ( i think)

[azantiI]

Yeah Great movie, comparing to todays modern techniques and gore is rather redundant really.

[Schibbix]

some nice effects for that time but if you watch it now the behaviour of the american soldiers is rediculous funny crap

[prinzeugen7]

I watch this movie. It's good!

[Gibbs19801]

Hans Christian Blech (Hauptmann Smith) is performing nice here in Remagen but when he plays Pluskat (The Longest Day) he is at his best!

[TK42100]

Lol I'll never forget the look on his face when he saw the landing fleet.

[Gibbs19801]

Classic film. One of my favourite WW2 movies! Robert Vaughn is one of my best actors.

[packhowitzer]

i love the beginning where all the chaffees willys jeeps and other vehicles are racing towards the bridge

[mattdenn]

My cousin, Lorenz Denn was the mayor of this town! I've been to Remagen twice cause I have family there and it's a sweet little town. Email me if you'd like some pictures.

[Cool2BCeltic]

It's an OK film for its time but not as realistic as Saving Private Ryan or Band of Brothers.Having the Germans speaking in English detracts from the realism. The Elmer Bernstein score is certainly good. I see it stars George Segal. In the 1960s he played a lot of the roles that would be played by Tom Hanks nowadays. It would be good to do a more realistic remake of this film nowadays, able to use today's CGI effects and drawing on the changed attitudes to WW2 we have nowadays.

[D4M4G3R87]

One of the best WW2 movies. A classic.

[alanheath]

Nearly 40 years on and still one of the best films of WW2 made. When I visited Remagen in 1985 I was surprised to see what a good job the film makers had done of the set which looked just like the village. The score is for me the best of Bernstein and one of the best war film sound tracks ever.

[boripars]

Second succesfull film after The Great Escape....

[pcampbell17]

Politicians sure know how to screw over civilians and use soldiers as pawns. They're the only ones who want war because they don't have to fight in it.

[retroactivity]

You can tell that the filmmakers are trying to feed off of the success of the Great Escape by having both movies scored by Elmer Bernstein...

[solovision]

I'm ashamed to admit it, but I've never seen The Great Escape. But I did see Remagen...and I was impressed with its gritty depiction of war. The 'good guys' are cynical and bitter, and the 'bad guys' suffer too. There's surprisingly little music during the film - I felt that emphasised the film's realism.
