"The Longest Day" has a star-studded cast, and is produced in a classic "noir" form (black and white)
Color would not have improved it. It is a stand-alone classic that deserves to be in any film collector's
library. I recently toured many of the invasion beaches and battlegrounds of World War II. Watching
the film took me back there.

One of the last great epic WW2 films of Allied invasion of Normandy June 6th 1944. Went to Normandy this year 2010 after we saw "The longest Day" the movie is pretty much right on to what did happen. I think everyone should see the movie and visit Normandy then we will all Appreciate our nations freedom. Plus it is an all star cast. Must see.

The Longest Day is the best movie telling about D-Day that has ever been made even after 40 years. This movie is a great historical one about D-Day and should be seen by anyone interested by world war II. When the movie started I was kind of mad because of black and white but that doesn't matter when the movie gets going because it's a great movie. This movie has a lot of action and comedy. Must Buy!!

While this is now calssed as an older film, this 2006 issue in a DVD format has some re-mastering which improves on the older issues and makes it more viewable. If you pay close attention, you'll be amazed how many stars and future-stars are in this film as leads, seconds, and extras. The true story of the events surrounding the 6 June 1944 invasion of Normandy, France. Fairly massive production and very sweeping in its' tale. Definately belongs in the film library of all historians and militaria collectors.
