Great movie
6 June 2003
What more can I say? I first found this movie when I was living in

New Hampshire back in 1985. The film has Orson Welles as a Royalist Cetnik senator, and there are other characters. It's about the Partisans' attempt to cross the Neretva River before the

Germans blow up the last bridge. The Partisans left no one

behind. Not even their wounded. They also had refugees with

them and they all had to get across the river before the Germans blow the bridge. They also have to contend with the Italians and a regiment of Cetnik Cavalry. Why are the Germans about to blow

the last bridge across the Neretva? Because they're afraid of an Allied invasion of the Balkans. It's January 1943 and the Germans are afraid that the Allies are going to invade the Balkans, which

they never did, but still, they have to isolate the Partisans. Blowing the last bridge over the Neretva would do that. Do the Germans

blow the bridge or do the Partisans escape before the bridge is

blown? Do you think I'm an idiot? I'm not telling. You have to see

this movie for yourself.
