Movie for the day: BotRK

Rico says he watched the beginning (and the fiancée stayed up for the rest) of The Bridge on the River Kwai, starring the instimal Alec Guinness, Jack Hawkins, William Holden, and Sessue Hayakawa as the sadistic camp commander:

After settling his differences with a Japanese POW camp commander (Hayakawa), a British colonel (Guinness) co-operates to oversee his men's construction of a bridge on the Burma Railway for their captors, while oblivious to a plan by the Allies to destroy it.

Rico says he's seen it before, but it's well worth seeing again.
