mp3 update
An update: iTunes has twelve versions of the Colonel Bogey March, but none as good as the original whistling from the movie. Mitch Miller and his gang are a little too polished for me, and the merengue version...well, it seems a little odd to combine merengue with the story of POWs forced to build a bridge that would carry a "death train" to Burma but hey...to each his own. One could see the story as an uplifting one--men who maintain their sense of pride and dignity under difficult circumstances--but merengue seems a little too upbeat, even for that.
