Theirs is the Glory (AKA Men of Arnhem) is a 1946 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 featured original footage from the battle as well as re-enactments, shot on location in Arnhem itself. Many of the actors portraying the paratroopers where actual soldiers who fought in the battle.
