a5c7b9f00b The events of D-Day, told on a grand scale from both the Allied and German points of view.
England in June 1944. Unseasonal storms. Allied troops are massed ready for the invasion of France, some already on the boats. The Normandy beaches will be their destination while paratroopers are dropped inland to take key towns and bridges. On the other side of the Channel the Germans still expect the invasion at Calais, and anyway the weather makes them think nothing is likely to be imminent. Eisenhower decides to go. Hitler sleeps on.
If all you're knowledge about D-Day comes from the excellent movie Saving Private Ryan, you should really check out The Longest Day to see the big picture. The two movies aren't comparable. SPR is a close quarters look at how the war effected the soldiers. TLD takes a epic point of view that explores all sides of the invasion. Just compare the way they depicted the landings on the beach. Zanuck's version is a wide camera view of thousands of soldiers running up the beach. Speilberg's focus's on one small stretch of one beach. Anyway, this is the definitive movie of the D-Day invasion,in the ENTIRE day. SPR is currently the definitive WWII combat movie.<br/><br/>I can't help but warn people that you do need to go into this with the aim of learning about history. It really is a dated movie (hammy/wooden acting, sometimes unbearable low humour, total lack of gore), but this doesn't stop it from delivering a great deal of good info to the watcher.
This film is run in a computer-colored version only cable and Tv's! The hungarian channel the RTL KLUB is showd this film on this version! The computer colord-version is not available on DVD or Video tape. You can see this version only the movie channels!

D-Day changed all that.<br/><br/>Vandervoort broke his ankle when he jumped with his men outside St. Mere Eglise.<br/><br/>He fought through the crucial first 40 days of the invasion on his broken ankle side by side with his men.<br/><br/>"I'm playing the role with a simulated broken ankle, but the cold in the head is real," Wayne grumbled.<br/><br/>"This is unbelievable, though the way, Zanuck has recreated in every detail the atmosphere of D-Day," Wayne said.<br/><br/>The two-fisted actor has re-fought most of the major campaigns of the War in the Pacific in such screen epics"Sands of Iwo Jima," "The Fighting Seabees," "Back to Bataan" and "They Were Expendable."<br/><br/>But this is his first go at World War II in the European Theater.<br/><br/>Which war do you prefer, Wayne was asked. "____!," he replied.<br/><br/>"You can win a war and lose the battle and I'm not aimin' to lose this battle!"<br/><br/>That was definitive.<br/><br/>Wayne added that his own production, "The Alamo," is making monkeys' of some critics who couldn't see itboxoffice.<br/><br/>"All the investors will be paid off before I get back a die of my money. Sure I'll produce and direct again when a story comes along that I like."<br/><br/>In the meantime, Wayne has added his might to the allied might of Henry Fonda, Robert Mitchum, Peter Lawford, Robert Wagner, Eddie Albert, Jeffrey Hunter, Paul Anka, Fabian, Tommy Sands, Edmund OBrien, Red Buttons, Ray Danton, Richard Todd and Kenneth More to win Darryl Zanuck's biggest screen battle, "The Longest Day," which promises to be the first definitive drama of D-Day.<br/><br/>________________________________ Chicago Tribune, Wednesday, February 14, 1962, s. 3, p. 6, c. 7:<br/><br/>LOOKING AT HOLLYWOOD<br/><br/>by Hedda Hopper<br/><br/>One fine picture can do it for an actor. "The Mark" certainly has for Stu Whitmen, who has just returned from doing "Longest Day" in Paris. While there he met Carl Foreman, who has a role for him in his next, "The Victors"; Twentieth Century-Fox is talking with him about co-starring opposite Marilyn Monroe; Lewis Milestone wants him for "Against the Wind"; an Italian company wants to sign him for a film about three GIs, and Stu owns a story, "Mandrake Root," which Sidney Buchman may do with him. . . . <br/><br/>___________________________ Chicago Tribune, Friday, June 15, 1979, s. 5, p. 1, c. 1:<br/><br/>Action line<br/><br/>Q–Could you help us? We have spent four days researching a simple question and have come up empty-handed. What does D-Day stand forin D-Day, June 6, 1944, the date of the invasion of Normandy by the Allied Forces? Why a "D"?<br/><br/>W. O., DeKalb<br/><br/>A–Take your choice: "Designated," "Date," or "Day." Not finding information to the contrary, we would go with the first letter of "Day"in "H-Hour." Actually, "D-Day" was simply the term for the date of the beginning of any invasion or military operation. The third day afterwards, for example, was called "D-Day plus 3". The "D" had no special significance, and June 6, 1944, was simply the most famous of World War II's "D-Days". Of course, "V-E Day" and "V-J Day" had specific, translatable meanings for the day of victory in Europe or over Japan.<br/><br/>_____________________________ Chicago Sun-Times, Tuesday, December 12, 1961, p. 30, c. 1:<br/><br/>KUP'S COLUMN<br/><br/>Darryl Zanuck, filming "Longest Day" in France, was reminiscing about the boo-boos in his movie career and selected Liz Taylorthe greatest. He completely overlooked hera potential star. As a youngster, Liz played with Zanuck's daughter and was in and out of his home regularly. Not until he saw Miss Taylor in her first movie, "National Velvet," did he realize how he had goofed. . . .<br/><br/>________________________________ Chicago American, Saturday, August 12, 1961, p. 9, c. 7:<br/><br/>LOUELLA O.

PARSONS<br/><br/>Lawford Shuns Clan's Hi-Jinks on European Trip<br/><br/>Hollywood, Cal.–-In all the hi-jinks being staged by the "clan" in Europe, Peter Lawford is conspicuously a nonparticipant. Peter is very conscious of the dignity of being the brother-in-law of President Kennedy in these dangerous times. Tho he is a pal of Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Joey Bishop, and Sammy Davis, Jr., he prefers to remain in the background.<br/><br/>Peter will remain in Europe until October. He's been signed by Darryl Zanuck for the featured role of Lord Lovat, who leads the British invasion on D-Day in "The Longest Day." This is a top part, not a cameo.<br/><br/>From Europe Pete will head for Washington, D.C., to start "Advise and Consent."<br/><br/>_________________________________<br/><br/>Chicago American, Monday, November 13, 1961, p. 17, c. 1:<br/><br/>DOROTHY KILGALLEN<br/><br/>New York–-Gossip in Gotham–-It appears that the Clan's ambassador to the White House, Peter Lawford, may not be able to greet President Kennedy when he arrives in California later this month.
