Seems that there are 2 items for the same song?
Mitch Miller and His Orchestra is listed on both with the same song. Not?

Are you saying that The Bridge on the River Kwai and The River Kwai March are the same composition?

There is at least a lot of confusion.
The same song, different title. And the whistling is opposite as what is written on the site...
The confusion is there on this site
The River Kwai March - Colonel Bogey is listed at both songs

Yes correct, because it is a medley of 2 different works /songs
Colonel Bogey March was written in 1914 and was used as a countermelody for The Bridge on the River Kwai in the 1957 movie.
Not to be confused with The River Kwai March which is a different work by the same composer, which was at the end of the movie.
So the comment there (Often played together with Colonel Bogey March after being featured with it in the 1957 film "Bridge on the River Kwai") should be deleted.
And subsequently the link on the workpage of (The River Kwai March in the comments of the workpage of Colonel Bogey March is also wrong; the link has to be The Bridge on the River Kwai

Glad to see this is finally getting some attention. I brought this up back in January and got no response at the time.

Is there a pending error report regarding this matter?

I have responded now Michael. To explain the difference between the counter-melody in the River Kwai medley and the interlude in the Colonel Bogey March.
SEE: "Bridge on the River Kwai" vs "River Kwai March"
