Commentary One - this archival audio commentary was recorded by screenwriter William Goldman and various crew members. Rather predictably, it is full of recollections about the conception and production of A Bridge Too Far, the massive star-studded cast that was gathered for the film, the funding of the film and the decision not to bring in Steve McQueen, some of the drama that materialized after the film's premiere, etc. This is an excellent, incredibly illuminating commentary, with plenty of information that you would get only from it.
Commentary Two - this new audio commentary was recorded by critic and author Steven Jay Rubin (Combat Films: American Realism) and critic Steve Mitchell.
