The Bridges at Toko-Ri 07/22/23

A domestic Blu-ray arrives of Mark Robson’s Korean War rumination, from the pen of James Michener and fleshed out 100% by Paramount’s crack visual effects team. Superstar leads William Holden and Grace Kelly illustrate a hard lesson of modern warfare — even in ‘asymmetrical’ high-tech combat there is no guarantee of survival. Charles McGraw, Fredric March, Mickey Rooney & Robert Strauss co-star. This new disc can’t touch [Imprint’s] extras — but it corrects the aspect ratio and therefore gets our vote. On Blu-ray from KL Studio Classics.
