'Bridge Too Far' is an all-star mediocrity By HANK BAKER Staff Writer A Bridge Too Far is just what all that pompous advertising made me fear it would be a chaotic, all-star mediocrity. It's easy to dread films like this; we're supposed to be impressed by all the big names in the cast and all the spectacular effects, and not worry about the fact that the real tragedy of the situation is buried underneath. By spending a lot of time and money and getting the actors that he did, Joseph E. Levin probably thinks he is paying a real tribute to the people involved in the actual incidents this film depicts. But I should think the survivors would be insulted by having this all-too-horrifying experience of theirs trivialized by the overblown budget and the pot-of-gold cast. Making a film out of Cornelius Ryan's account (based on interviews with the survivors) of British General Montgomery's audacious and finally disastrous Operation Market Garden is probably as impossible as the plan itself. There is so much background (merely capsulized at the film's beginning) and so many details in the operation itself, that it's no wonder the film becomes more and more confusing and incoherent as the various armies are delayed, ambushed, and destroyed. The film begins reasonably well with General Browning (Dirk Bogarde) explaining to the other commanders (Sean Connery, Ryan O'Neal, Gene Hackman)the workings of the plan, in which 35,000 soldiers will be dropped near three strategic German bridges and will hold them until the bulk of them can all join at Amharden, Holland and secure the most important bridge, thereby crippling the Germans. H owever, as the troops land and start their journey, everything goes wrong. Planes crash, the roads are narrow and marshy (not ideal for tanks), the radios don't work, and the troops are delayed interminably. The remainder of the film chronicles the cause and effect that ruins the plan and annihilates a great many soldiers in the process. There is Please turn to page 9 We're here for you .
