These two performances have energy; most every other characterization is sluggish. That may be because action dwarfs personalities Bridge Too Far." The people who made the film wanted it to be a big show. It is that, but not much more. Fli STARTS TOMORROW THE! THE! BREMEN OEERBPOOK TINLIT PANIC 4It IDia OfERfllLO t72ltl THE THE By Gene Siskel Movie critic THE ARTISTIC question posed by "A Bridge Too Is it possible to make a spectacular, three-hour, big-budget war movie that has an antiwar theme? Joseph E.

Levine has spent $26 million only to prove the answer is "no." In a Tribune interview four years ago, Francois Truffaut said he didn't think it was possible to make an antiwar film that showed any fighting. Battle sequences on film, Truffaut said, carry a positive power impossible to control. Sure enough, even though "A Bridge Too Far" tells of a stupid and costly World War II battle, one can't help but watch it and think that if only the Allied soldiers had been smarter, they wouldn't have lost the battle. "A Bridge Too Far" makes only losing a war seem unattractive. "A BRIDGE TOO FAR" is based on (he best-' selling Cornelius Ryan book about the disastrous Allied invasion of Holland.

Conceived by amfii-" tious British Field Marshall Bernard Montgomery over General George Patton's sage objections, the plan was to knock out German positions in northern Holland and move across the Rhine into Germany itself. The assault involved an assortment of Allied land troops and thousands of paratroopers. If the invasion had worked, it might have shortened the war in Europe by one year. Failing as it did, it only delayed the then certain German defeat. Cause of failure: Allied command egos got in the way of good soldiering.

Having suffered through years of military training, I'd like to think I understand basic military tactics. But even during a second viewing of "A Bridge Too Far," I'll be damned if I knew exactly who was what, when. Two things got in the way: the of stars and the amount of battle footage. As for the stars, "A Bridge Too Far" has an impressive array. Robert Redford arrives two-thirds of the way through the picture after we've seen the likes of Sean Connery, Michael Caine, Gene Hack-man, Elliott Gould, and Ryan O'Neal in uniform.

But and I don't know how many times I've written this sentence when you have a large cast like that, it's virtually impossible for any one character to grab you. More often than not, "A Bridge Too Far" isn't a story; it's a parade of famous faces. As for the battle footage, it is more often tedious than glamorous. The paratroop landing provides a spectacular five minutes. OTHER ACTION FOOTAGE is routine.

Soldiers get shot, one burns while trapped in a tank. Jeeps explode. Ho-hum. Oddly enough, the moment of combat with the greatest audience appeal is a solitary argument between Sgt. James Caan and medic Arthur Hill.

Will Hill operate on Caan's horribly injured buddy? The scene has nothing to do with war, antiwar, or even the particular battle being fought. It simply grabs audience interest through old-fashioned, melodramatic screenwriting. Despite all of the well-known American actors in "A Bridge Too Far," a couple of Englishmen steal the show. Edward Fox (the ace assassin in "The Day of the is likable as an enthusiastic British general who envisions the battle as "one of those Hollywood Westerns," with his English troops as "the cavalry coming to the rescue in the nick of time."
