Like most of the "Making of"-documentaries, this one is so terrible boring, because everyone finds everyone and everything great. These documentaries are no more and no less than PR-clips with standardized camera positions and routine editing. Why not discuss the political meaning of the Geneva Convention rule, that officers and officers only in prisoners camps are not to be forced to manual labour. One could suggest that "The Bridge on the River Kwai" is a snobbish film about the British upper class in wartimes. I prefer to see Alec Guinness as a ladykiller. And I don't need to know how the film was made. It speaks for itself. And whoever suggests that "The Bridge" is one of David Lean's best films doesn't know his early films from "Great Expectations" to "Hobson's Choice". The world has become a victim of Hollywood's measures.
