local people who had never seen a film camera before, played roles in the film, and the priest gave the company permission to film inside the eight-hundred-year-old cathedral at Semur- en-Auxois. Elephants had to transport the huge electric generators used in Ceylon for The Bridge cm the River Kwai. Although they were invaluable for work, there were several amusing incidents with those making the film, including one in which an elephant walked across the set, spoiling the take, shortly afterwards followed by another—and it was discovered that an elephant track went across the set and as the great creatures were not willing to make a detour, the set was moved ! The Bridge on the River Kwai —built in Kituyala, Ceylon, was one of the largest sets ever made. Thirty-five elephants, five hundred workmen and a virtual forest of logs costing £80,000, built this 425-foot long, 50-foot high bridge, which was blown up with a six-coach train to make _ about a minute of the film’s climax. The bridge and a mile of railway across it and along the mountains at either side of the Wl-rs t river, was under construction by Ceylon Army Engineers for eight months. The film was made from Pierre Boulle's book about the construction of Japan’s World War II Burma-Siam railway by means of using Western prisoners.
