Movie Review:THE BRIDGE ON THE RIVER KWAI, 1957. Directed by David Lean

The film starts out with two Allied PoWs burying a dead comrade, one of the men being U.S. Navy Commander Shears (William Holden), who, upon finishing up the burial service bribes a Japanese guard to put him and the other prisoner on the sick list to avoid more labor.
