Movie Reviews of The Longest Day (Two-Disc Collector's Edition)
Movie Review: Classic movie that also looks fantastic on BD!
Summary: 5 Stars
Classic 1962 WWII film, starring John Wayne, Henry Fonda, Peter Lawford, Richard Burton, Robert Mitchum, Rod Steiger, a young Sean Connery, Red Buttons, Eddie Albert, Paul Anka (!), Fabian (!!), and whole lot more. Filmed by three different directors, I can't believe how good this now looks on Blu-Ray - fantastic! This movie also holds up better than 'A Bridge Too Far', also based on a Cornelius Ryan book. (Although I really like 'Bridge', but I recognize that it's not a great movie.) Especially stunning is the one long, single-take assault on Oustreham, which is a precursor to similar shots done 40-years later in 'Children of Men' and 'Atonement'
Summary of The Longest Day (Two-Disc Collector's Edition)
This special collector's commemorative edition has been issued in honor of the June 6, 1944 Allied invasion of France, which marked the beginning of the end of Nazi domination over Europe. The attack involved 3,000,000 men, 11,000 planes and 4,000 ships, comprising the largest armada the world has ever seen.The Longest Day is a vivid, hour-by-hour recreation of this historic event. Featuring a stellar international cast, and told from the perspectives of both sides, it is a fascinating look at the massive preparations, mistakes, and random events that determined the outcome of one of the biggest battles in history. Winner of two 1962 Oscars? (Special Effects and Cinematography), The Longest Day ranks as one of Hollywood's truly great war films.
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
