  • Bridge Over The River Kwai
    832 words
    And I m afraid we re in for a rather stormy passage (Boulle 36). Is the book better than the movie In many cases, yes, and this is one such case. The book version of The Bridge Over the River Kwai, by Pierre Boulle, is far superior to that of the filmed version, produced by Sam Spiegel.
