Bridge on the River Kwai on TCM tonight: shirtless William Holden

[Kathy in Cambridge]

it's a great movie. It's about 3 hours long and starts at 10 PM EST.

I love William Holden-he was a fine looking man! :loveya:

1. Every time I see William Holden I think about my mother

She really had a thing for him. :D

[LiviaOlivia]

7. My mother stood behind Holden in a grocery store line.

This was mid 60's. She went on and on about that incident. He was buying
beer.

[Left Is Write]

I think of the I Love Lucy episode where she saw him at The Brown Derby.

When Ricky brought him home later, she donned that ridiculous fake nose disguise.

2. no t.v. for me

but we will all whistle along with the theme music,thanks now i can't get the tune out of my head.......when you watch it tonight,the song will not leave your head,it's like the hic-ups....enjoy

3. Speaking of fine-looking men

Last night I watched "The Devil's Own" with Harrison Ford and Brad Pitt. Even though Brad's Irish accent was rather sappy, I truly enjoyed the two of them together. My significant other came in while I was watching and caught me fawning over the two of them and all goo-goo eyed Hahahahaha! Woooooo Hooooooooo! Brad and Harrison in one movie. I can't stand it!

5. I'm like that with "Oceans 11": Clooney, Pitt, too much eye candy

4. My favorite movie of all time! My future husband took me to see it on

our first date in 1958------he's long gone but I still love the movie.

6. What a sweet memory

how long were you married?

[candy]

8. Kathy,I was divorced---not widowed,but there were good times

and bad,five great kids,and a 25 year marriage.

Still many sweet memories and this movie has ALWAYS been on the top of my 10 favorite movies of all time.I have probably seen it 10 times.

Enjoy! (I'm a Massachusetts lady also)

9. What a great movie!!!

So many great lines.

But whenever I think about William Holden I think if that classic "I Love Lucy" episode when she kisses him.
"I KISSED BILL HOLDEN!" she keeps screaming.
:D

10. That is one of the best movies ever made. William Holden

is OK, but, for my money, the rivalry between the 2 Colonels played by Alec Guiness and Seshu Hayakawa (sp?) IS the movie.
The dynamic between those two characters is one of the best on film. It's what elevates Bridge on the River Kwai from being just another "war" movie.

And, I agree with jdots--that song is like the hiccups--but an enjoyable kind.

15. It's great to exercise to.

But back to the movie. I though Alec Guiness was GREAT! How he becomes obsessed with building the bridge perfectly, in the British way, even though it was aiding the enemy--and how that dynamic tears Heayakawa apart. GREAT.

11. William Holden was fine, fine.

Even though he was a lush. Sunset Boulevard was a landmark of my youth.

[Kathy in Cambridge]

13. And "Sabrina". He was so handsome on that movie.

:loveya:

[charlyvi]

14. Uh huh.

He outshined Bogart in that one, which is something in itself.

[mohinoaklawnillinois]

12. Yeah, it's one of my faves too.

But then again I love movies directed by David Lean.
