Not only did surviving vets get to see their World War II exploits (in the September 1944 Arnhem debacle) played out spectacularly for all the world to see, but several got to coach the actors playing them. [28 Dec 2001]
First-rate blockbuster preaching an anti-war message but laying on grand battle sequences as it recreates, coherently and convincingly, Operation Market Garden, the Allied Forces' airborne assault on Arnhem in 1944 that was intended to end the Second World War by Christmas. [19 Nov 2006, p.2]
An absorbing, well-crafted, honorable movie that seems almost as ambitious as the original operation itself. [20 Jun 1977, p.65]

This is a great movie for any history buff. It depicts everything from Operation Market Garden. It is quite a long movie but by the end I was happy I watched it.

A Great war movie with an all-star cast. Fascinating from a historical perspective, my only criticism is that James Cann's characters subplot seemed unnecessary and blotted the run time.
