I just rewatched Richard Attenborough’s 1977 WWII film, A Bridge Too Far. In a way, it’s no masterpiece at all. It’s really slow and it enjoys its authentic costumes and locations too much– almost giving the actors permission to let go a bit. On the other hand, it’s nicely paced and authentic and it all plays out a bit more like a documentary, with no single protagonist. I’m sure I don’t know enough to comment on historical accuracy, but they sure put their military advisers in the credits. Third time I’ve watched it and my appreciation has grown.

Not sure if this is a series or not, but I’ve got some more films under my belt that I’ve been meaning to watch for years, and finally have.
