"arjay" wrote in message m... The only claim that the Kwai Bridge existed was the following: "Mitchell Holman" wrote in message ... And then there is British director David Leans' "Bridge Over The River Kwai", which credited the British for an action that in fact Americans accomplished......... Yes -- but Mitchell (whose contributions here I greatly value) has not clarified which action he referred to. Perhaps he meant the destruction, rather than the construction, of the bridge(s). Is it "irony" or "farce" when some one claims credit, (in all seriousness) for something which they know nothing about except that it is creditted to some one else in *fiction*? eg: some american claiming to have done some thing (believing the fiction to be true) attributed to some one else (the British et al) even if it is in a fictional account? |
