The strong German Army forces must to cross over the bridge (somewhere in Yugoslavia) on their way back from Greece,in the year of 1944.Yugoslavian Partisans Headquarter send a group of commandos to destroy the bridge and hold up Germans.
Hajrudin Siba Krvavac (sometimes called "Bosnian Raoul Walsh") was the best ex-YU action movie director."Most" ("The Bridge",on English)was his first big hit,followed (three years later)by his most famous masterpiece-"Valter brani Sarajevo"."Most" is totally in Siba's style: great fight scenes,plenty of action and very,very little (almost zero)stupidities about communism (that was regular in movies about Partisans made by other ex-YU directors).
Actors are great,too.Bata Zivojinovic is very good in just another one of his numerous "German-soldiers-exterminating"roles.Slobodan Perovic (in the role of architect who creates the bridge and now must to destroy his masterpiece)is excellent,so as Jovan-Burdus Janicijevic,one of the most popular ex-YU supporting actors.Relja Basic(role of SS officer) show us that villain characters are not strange to him.
Unfortunately,many people who worked on this film are not still alive (including director Hajrudin Siba Krvavac,and actors Slobodan Perovic,Jovan Janicijevic and Boro Begovic)and this comment is some kind of my hommage to them.

Zika Pavlovic was,probably, first ex-Yugoslavian director who didn't make a stupid movies about Tito's partisans and their fight against Nazis.His movies was about a modern life in ex-Yugoslavia and problems of "our fellow Yugoslavians". "Kad budem mrtav i beo" ("When I die",on English) is a story about Dzimi ( it reads: "Jimmy")Barka,young, handsome,charismatic,but pretty unsuccessful singer from a small town in central Serbia.Dzimi wants to go in Belgrade and become a famous star of pop music,but...this story has a tragic end,like every Balcan story,anyway. Role of Dzimi Barka was a first big job for Dragan Nikolic,one of the best ex-Yugoslavian actors.This role became some kind of his trade mark. Pavlovic was a genious artist and just a few ex-Yugoslavian directors can make such a good story about people from yugoslavian province. This movie is a masterpiece of ex-Yugoslavian film making!
