The River Kwai March is a march composed by Malcolm Arnold in 1957. It was written as an orchestral counter-march to the Colonel Bogey March, which is whistled by the soldiers entering the prisoner camp in the film The Bridge on the River Kwai and again near the end of the film when the bridge is formally dedicated. The Arnold march re-appears (without the Colonel Bogey March) several times in the film and is repeated at the finale.
