Excerpt Eight:
The
Bridge on the River Kwai
Location:
Kanchanaburi, Thailand
I
remember watching The Bridge on the River Kwai growing up. This classic
movie is based on the novel written by Pierre Boulle, about the construction of
a bridge over the River Kwai by Allied prisoners of war, as part of the “Death
Railway” during World War II. There were a number of things that I always
remembered from the movie as a kid. There was William Holden’s character, who
escaped from the prison camp only to return as part of a commando mission to
try to destroy the bridge.
