What's left behind the scenes

The film is based on Pierre Boulle's novel "The Bridge on the River Kwai" (Le Pont de la Riviere Kwai, 1952).
Screenwriters Michael Wilson and Carl Foreman were blacklisted on suspicion of communist ties. Their names were removed from the credits, and Pierre Boulle, the author of the novel the film is based on, received the Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay. The award was returned to them in 1984, but Wilson received it posthumously.
The assistant director died in a car crash on the way to the set.
The plot is based on the true story of Lieutenant Colonel Philip Toose. Memories of him were collected in Peter Davis's book "The Man Behind the Bridge" (1991).
In the film, the bridge was built in 2 months, but in reality, a British company built the bridge for the film in Ceylon for a full 8 months, with the participation of 500 workers and 35 elephants. The bridge turned out to be 425 feet long and 50 feet high. Its cost was 85,000 pounds sterling (by 2002 standards - 1.2 million pounds).
Howard Hawks was offered to direct the film, but he refused after the failure of his previous film "Land of the Pharaohs." He thought that critics would love "The Bridge on the River Kwai," but audiences would not (in fact, with a budget of $3 million, "The Bridge" grossed around $27 million).
In Pierre Boulle's original book, Colonel Nicholson manages to prevent the bridge from being blown up. A train is blown up by one of the backup charges set by saboteurs, but the bridge remains intact.
The train wreckage that viewers see at the end of the film was purchased from an Indian maharaja.
