Theirs is the Glory (1946) is a British film about the battle for Arnhem bridge during operation Market Garden in World War II. It was the first film to be made about this battle. The later film A Bridge Too Far depicts the whole of the operation, but a lot of focus in that film is on the battle for Arnhem bridge.
The film was directed by Brian Desmond Hurst and Terence Young (who later directed Doctor No) and featured original footage from the battle as well as re-enactments of the battle, shot on location at Arnhem. Many of the actors portraying the paratroopers where actual soldiers who fought in the battle.
