Bridge at Remagen is a well made and beautifully shot WWII-era film that features some fine performances, particularly from George Segal and Robert Vaughn. The Blu-ray release by Twilight Time offers good video and audio transfers but falls well short in the features department.

PLOT SYNOPSIS


Fatigued by the long combat in Europe, Lt. Phil Hartman (GEORGE SEGAL) and his men are ordered to advance on Remagen, a possible toehold into enemy territory. Meanwhile, Maj. Paul Kreuger (ROBERT VAUGHN) of the German armed forces is ordered to defend the town and the nearby bridge across the Rhine. As a desperate battle commences, Hartman and Kreuger both find themselves pawns of larger forces and witness how war can turn each side against itself.

 

SPECIAL FEATURES – 0.5/5


This release comes with the usual 8-page booklet and the film’s Original Theatrical Trailer (3:04; HD).

 


VIDEO – 3.75/5, AUDIO – 3.5/5


Twilight Time releases The Bridge at Remagen onto Blu-ray with a 1080p high-definition transfer and presented in its original 2.35 widescreen aspect ratio. It’s a fine looking picture with natural looking skin tones for the well-lit scenes while detail was relatively sharp and free of apparent flaws like scratches, specs, etc.

The disc comes with a basic but effective DTS-HD Master Audio Mono track which provides clear dialogue levels and some modest depth in regards to the action sequences.


OVERALL – 3.0/5


Overall, Bridge at Remagen is a well made and beautifully shot WWII-era film that features some fine performances, particularly from George Segal and Robert Vaughn. The Blu-ray release by Twilight Time offers good video and audio transfers but falls well short in the features department.
