Movie Reviews of The True Glory D-Day to V-E Day
Movie Review: A NEAT collection of films about WWII in Europe !
Summary: 5 Stars
The True Glory is one of WWII's lost masterpieces. I had never heard of this film before, but after watching it, I think it's safe to say I'd seen huge pieces of it on TV -- diced and sliced by the History Channel. Anyway, what you are getting here is the original, uncut, hour and a half version of this Academy Award winning film about combat in Europe. It's hosted, I guess you can say, by Dwight Eisenhower who introduces it and provides some narration. Joining him are dozens of people in the voice-over, in their own words, describing things that happened as they fought to bring down Hitler and Germany in 1944-45. Also on the DVD are two neat films, one about the Airborne assaults prior to D-Day, and one about building artificial harbors in Normandy. All in all this is a really interesting DVD that puts you back in the "feeling" of WWII. It was made, after all, just after it happened!
