More Info:

Celebrated author James A. Michener's explosive Korean War novel is the basis for this Academy Award -winning motion picture. Not every Navy pilot can guide his aircraft from a wave-tossed carrier deck, seek out targets over unfamiliar Korean terrain, and then return to what looks like a speck in the sea. Naval Reservist Harry Brubaker (William Holden) can. This masterful story of a war-weary World War II veteran who must leave his family to fight again combines moving drama with surefire, bombs-away aerial action. Luminous Grace Kelly co-stars as Holden's loving wife, and rounding out a stellar cast are Fredric March, Mickey Rooney, Charles McGraw, Robert Strauss and Earl Holliman. The Bridges at Toko-Ri landed two Academy Award nominations for 1955, with Paramount's Special Effects team winning the coveted Oscar for their thrilling, fiery handiwork.*.
