00:44You British prisoners have been chosen...
00:48to build a bridge across the Ribeakuai.
00:52If you work hard, you will be treated well.
00:57But if you do not work hard, you will be punished.
01:18You'll go on without me. That's an order.
01:21You make me sick with your heroics. There's a stench of death about you.
01:25You carry it in your pack like the plague.
01:26You and that Colonel Nicholson, you're two of a kind. Crazy with courage. For what?

02:32The humor of soldiers in the midst of tragedy.
02:36I thought you were the enemy, sir.
02:38Well, I'm an American, if that's what you mean.
02:40The tenderness that springs from the heart.
02:42You're lovely.
02:44The beauty and brutality that is war on an island in the jungle.
02:52The bridge on the river Kwai is a motion picture achievement by a combination of brilliant creative talent.
02:58Produced by Sam Spiegel, who gave you The African Queen and On the Waterfront.
03:04Directed by David Lean, who made Brief Encounter and Great Expectations.
