The Bridge on the River Kwai (1957) | Ep. 59 - Part 2
Back to the jungle for the second half. John, Westy, and Matt continue the story of Lean's epic, turning to the people who built it and the explosive finale that brings the bridge down.
We dig into the crew behind the film — the screenplay and the blacklisted writers who couldn't be credited at the time, the iconic score, and the cinematography — before breaking down the climax, the seven Academy Awards, and the film's lasting legacy. Plus the hosts' final verdict and scores.
If you've not heard Part 1 — the beginning, the director, the cast, and the middle — go back and start there.
