Based on the novel by Pierre Boulle and loosely based on a true World War II event, "The Bridge On The River Kwai" garnered seven 1957 Academy Awards® including Best Picture. Guinness plays Colonel Nicholson, a by-the-book, almost-crazed British colonel who leads POW's in building a railway bridge for the Japanese in Burma, while Holden and Hawkins are allied commandos sent out to destroy the endeavor. (Gary Reber)
