After seeing Saving Private Ryan, this epic tale about the Normandy invasion will look sanitized. But in its re-creation of events leading to the epochal battle, the film is captivating and grand, and the parade of famous actors who cross the screen naturally give the already charged action even more of a boost. Three directors worked on it: Ken Annakin (Battle of the Bulge), Andrew Marton (Crack in the World), and Bernhard Wicki (this film being his only credit). --Tom Keogh

Rating:  - BLURAY bliss for a classic WWII "Fox" spectacle from DFZ

"Saving Private Ryan" (35 years more modern, technology-wise) has it's MOMENTS, but this film is more satisfying ... Read More

I still get a shiver down my neck when the German ... Read More
Rating: - The Longest Day
I thought this movie was alwsome it shows what it was like for the people going on to the beach and the airborne it gives all different perspectives from the people from england the united states and the nazi's and it outlines it what everyone was doing all the way until dday was over.
Rating: - Zanuck's vision of D-Day
A little dated, this remains one of the great war movies ever made. On June the 6th 1944 Daryl F. Zanuck was on a ship watching the largest invasion in the history of man. That image would stay with him and drive him to make an epic war film from Cornelius Ryan's bestseller. One of the greatest casts ever assembled: John Wayne, Robert Ryan, Henry Fonda, Robert Mitchum, Stuart Whitman, Tom Tryon, Eddie Albert, Edmund O'Brien, Peter Lawford, Richard Burton, Jeffrey Hunter, Roddy McDowell, Richard Beamer, ...
