Finally watched BRIDGE AT REMAGEN...
Feb. 7th, 2011 03:02 amI received the DVD as a stocking stuffer from my son at Christmas, but I didn't have a chance to watch it until last night.
Can't say the movie itself impressed me too much, but then I didn't expect it to really. I'm not much into war movies.
Still, RV was lovely to watch in it (still Napoleon Solo gorgeous here) and he did get the best line in the movie, the "But who is the enemy?" question as he is about to face the firing squad from his own side.
Did anyone else notice though how the part in RV's hair switches sides during the course of the film? In the beginning and at the end it's opposite side from where he wore it during his Napoleon-years. But during the middle of the movie, it's to the Napoleon side.
Also, he had very short, looking recently barbered, hair in the very beginning. But in the middle it was less cropped. Then at the end it was that very short look again.
I realize that just indicates that the beginning and ending were filmed at one time and the middle of the movie at another, but you know it seemed a bit weird that Major Kreuger would have taken the time to go for a haircut and coiffure restyling before reporting to the general to try and get the bridge blown up at the end of the story. [chuckle] The continuity folks were a little sloppy there.
And wasn't it a bit strange that, after Kreuger is shot by the firing squad, we see two bullet holes in his uniform jacket, but no blood? I mean it's not like this movie was shy about showing blood, though -- considering it was a war movie -- there was probably less blood than would have been shown if this movie was being made now rather than in 1969.
