June 15 1977 

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