WSR Narrative Review
Story Synopsis:
633 Squadron, The Devil’s Brigade and The Bridge At Remagen is a triple feature for classic war fanatics! The Bridge At Remagen is the story about the coming of the end of World War II, when a bitter battle takes place between U.S. and German troops as they converge on the bridge at Remagen. Notable performances by George Segal and Robert Vaughan.

LaserDisc Picture:
This picture exhibits more use of color than its predecessors, although there are inconsistencies. Images are generally sharp and detailed, but the slightest noise and minor artifacts are apparent.

LaserDisc Soundtrack:
The sound is undistinguished mono that sounds compressed with bass rumble.
