Product Description
An epic recreation of the allied invasion of normandy. Studio: Tcfhe Release Date: 05/13/2008 Starring: John Wayne Richard Burton Run time: 179 minutes Rating: Nr

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

 BLURAY bliss for a classic WWII "Fox" spectacle from DFZ January 4, 2009
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
THE LONGEST DAY is one of the last great spectacle films produced during the era of Darryl Zanuck's reign at 20th Century-Fox. This startling new BLURAY version stunts and makes obsolete all previous editions! The film never looked or sounded better.Interesting and informative commentary by historian Mary Corey is screen specific and almost 100% continuous.A treat to finally see it this way! "Saving Private Ryan" (35 years more modern, technology-wise) has it's MOMENTS, but this film is more satisfying and engaging overall from top to bottom,for sure.
A true epic December 23, 2008
I often wonder when watching this film how the director manages to undertake such a huge undertaking. The scale of this film is incredible and the amount of back-stories incorporated into the tale from Burtons injured pilot to Waynes gung-ho C.O. Obviously every facet of the D-Day invasion could not be covered, but this film makes a good effort at chronicling one of the most important days in world history in a reasonably accurate and unsentimental way. I still get a shiver down my neck when the German officer in the pillbox sees the invasion fleet through his binoculars and strives to convince his superiors of the threat as his position is being shelled. There are many many many crappy war films out there, but this one does justice to those who were there and fought for the freedoms we enjoy today.
The Longest Day December 11, 2008
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.
Zanuck's vision of D-Day December 10, 2008
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, Gert Frobe and Sean Connery -- infact, under contract to 20th Century Fox for several years, this would be the only film he did for them. His next project would be DR. NO. A vast film that shows the epic event from both the Allied ,German and Partisan sides. The action scenes are truly spectacular.
