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 OscarsÂ(r) (Special Effects and Cinematography), The Longest Day ranks as one of Hollywood's truly great war films.

one of only 2 of my favorite war flicks.i was happy to find it on dvd here.

And that little cutie Irina Demark was the girlfriend of the producer, Darryl F. This is a 1962 attempt to be an accurate rendition of D day, based on Cornelius Ryan's book, "The Longest Day", when the allied forces of world war two crossed the English Channel and fought their way up the beaches of France. The Teahouse Of The August Moon (DVD) Marlon Brando, Glenn Ford The list of popular actors playing the parts of the various countries and ethnicities of the time is too long to mention in this review. You can tell this picture was remastered some time recently as it looks as crisp as the day it was made. Be sure to see Eddy Albert again in uniform in "Teahouse of the August Moon" (1956).

However Eddy Albert (a method actor) was quite believable and contributed much to the energy of this rendition. And you can only find a few missed specks on the Blu-ray rendition. The whole film is of the events of that day. The film is a keeper and is worth the purchase. Zanuck. The Blu-ray version has the obligatory voice-over recollections forom the only remaining director.

A real bummer over-all. The outer packaging of such discs should at least contain a statement in easily readable lettering that this dvd contains advertising.

To make matters worse, this disc begins with a burst of noise accompanying a preview which cannot be defeated with the menu button. How are they getting away with this.

After having purchased the non-anamorphic version of "The Longest Day", one of the truly great war epics, I recently purchased the two-disc "Cinema Classics Collection" and was sorely disappointed with lack of clarity of the image when viewed on a 46" Samsung LCD. Compared to excellent B/W DVD releases such as Warner's presentation of "Citizen Kane" (1941) or Criterion's release of David Lean's "Great Expectations" (1946), this Fox release of "Longest Day" is totally unacceptable.

If, at the beginning of this practice, consumers returned dvd's with commercials on them to the manufacturers or the dealers, it probably could have been stopped fast. How would the public feel if every music CD began with commercials for new CD releases.

anyway the movie looks really good on Blu-ray. I love this classic war movie.

Well. the best Actor of all times is John Wayne. is not in color.

Because it has. a great movie. But it.

But you should own it today and yes it's.

But the price made it worth it. Nice reproduction. It was originally filmed in great quality. Not real sure if the Blue-ray version is that much better. I viewed it on a 720p 42" LCD.
