A BRIDGE TOO FAR opens. Directed by Richard Attenborough. Written by William Goldman, from the novel by Cornelius Ryan. Extended cameos from a galaxy of big-name stars (Sean Connery, Michael Caine, Robert Redford, Gene Hackman, James Caan, Elliott Gould, Anthony Hopkins, Dirk Bogarde) supply gravitas & box-office heft to monumentally daunting recreation of the Allies' ill-fated, 1944 mission to capture 6 strategic bridges in German-occupied Holland.
