William Holden stars as Naval reservist called back into duty in this masterful action drama story of a war-weary World War II veteran who must leave his family to fight again. The film has all the thrills and suspense of the best air war movies, yet its plot is decidedly anti-war. His reluctance to fight symbolized Americans' war-weariness in the early 1950s. Grace Kelly plays his wife and Mickey Rooney appears as the stereotypical doomed comrade.
A taut, well-honed, and highly charged socio-political drama as well as an adventure movie, The Bridges at Toko-Ri won a special effects Oscar and a place among the finest of combat movies.Also starring Grace Kelly as his luminescent wife.
