One response to “Episode 38: Bridge on the River Kwai”
Bridge is still on my list to watch. I started watching it on TCM a year or so ago but didn’t have time to finish watching and haven’t been watching too many movies at home of late. Did watch some Sergio Leone classics with Henry Fonda and went out to see the new Woody Allen movie.
I know Woody Allen is supposed to be a genius but I find most of his movies depressing and annoying. Even movies I used to like, like Zelig or Play It Again Sam I cannot stand to be around anymore.
We just grew apart, I guess.
