A Bridge Too Far

A Bridge Too Far

During production of the 1977 movie "A Bridge Too Far," the Dutch authorities only allowed the Nijmegen Bridge to be closed for filming on Sundays for an hour. As a result of the crew's need to acquire the film in that hour, it became known as the "Million Dollar Hour." The alternative was to pay Robert Redford $125,000 each day to stay on set.
