I really hate this DVD cover because it’s all wrong. (Court-martial the idiot who designed it!)
You think you’re dealing with a war movie where John Wayne and Robert Mitchum are going to teach those Krauts a lesson or two single-handedly. (And who still watches movies with John Wayne?)
In fact, ”The Longest Day” (directed by Ken Annakin and others, produced by studio head Darryl Zanuck) (1962), is an epic, minute-by-minute account of the Normandy landings on D-Day, based on war correspondent Cornelius Ryan’s classic book.
Don’t expect any prolonged battle scenes either; this movie, shot in black-and-white on the actual locations to increase its realism as a re-enactment of World War II events, merely establishes a detailed timeline of the goings-on on both sides on June 6 1944.
Every detail you see is historically accurate!
