Description
Simon Lewis's Making a Bridge Too Far is a behind-the-scenes look at the 1977 epic WWII film, A Bridge Too Far. The book delves into the production of the movie, which aimed to recreate the Allied plan Operation Market-Garden in September 1944. Lewis interviewed many of the cast and crew, uncovering the challenges of bringing WWII to life on location in the Netherlands in 1976. The film's production was marked by its ambitious scope, with a large cast of top stars and a significant budget. However, the battle for the Arnhem bridge was a disaster for the Allies, with the British First Airborne holding out against overwhelming odds. Lewis's book provides a unique insight into the making of the film, including the use of vintage tanks and aircraft, legions of stunt men and paratroopers, and the experiences of the cast and crew. For those interested in the history of the film and its production, Making a Bridge Too Far offers a fascinating glimpse into the making of a Hollywood epic.
