The most interesting thing about this Korean War-set movie is the way it ends. You won't get what would be considered a rousing action-filled good time here. In fact, the principles question why they have to do what they have to do sometimes. William Holden plays a lawyer who's sent on a dangerous mission to destroy some bridges of the title. Mickey Rooney plays a helicopter pilot who gets into trouble with a Japanese woman when she betrays him but also helps Holden's character early on so he's bound to be loyal to him. Grace Kelly is Holden's wife who is told what to expect by her hubby's superior, Fredric March, when he takes these missions. The aerial footage are the most compelling of scenes though some of the humor concerning Holden, Ms. Kelly, their pre-teen daughters and a Japanese family at a hotel pool was also welcome. Dramatically, this adaptation of James A. Michener's novel could have been better. Still, The Bridges at Toko-Ri was pretty good as a war drama.
