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!

Summary of The True Glory D-Day to V-E Day

While D-Day began officially on June 6, 1944, the invasion of France actually started on the 5th, as thousands of paratroops dropped into Normandy. The battles that raged in the months that followed resulted in the liberation of Paris, and sealed Germany's fate.

Featured on this DVD are three rare films made by the U.S. Army and British Ministry of Information in the aftermath of V-E Day, showing how Europe was liberated. They include "D-Day Minus One" which considers the airborne assault and the sacrifices made by the paratroops, "Seabees at Normandy" which focuses on the role Construction Battallions played in moving supplies to the beachheads, and finally the 80-minute long epic "The True Glory" directed by famed directors Carol Reed and Garson Kanin. Winner of a special Academy Award(tm), this stunning film traces the campaign from the shores of France to Berlin. It's history, like you've never seen it before.

Digitally remastered and restored from original 16mm film prints, some of the films on this DVD have never been made available to the public. Because of their age and rarity, image and sound quality can vary.

Films are black and white. Over 120 minutes of material.

Please note: this DVD is presented in the DVD-R format. It may not be compatible with older DVD players. See your player's instruction manual for more information.
