Plot: The Longest Day is a mammoth, all-star re-creation of the D-Day invasion, personally orchestrated by Darryl F. Zanuck. Whenever possible, the original locations were utilized, and an all-star international cast impersonates the people involved, from high-ranking officials to ordinary GIs. Each actor speaks in his or her native language with subtitles translating for the benefit of the audience (alternate takes were made of each scene with the foreign actors speaking English, but these were seen only during the first network telecast of the film in 1972). The stars are listed alphabetically, with the exception of John Wayne, who as Lt. Colonel Vandervoort gets separate billing. Others in the huge cast include Eddie Albert, Jean-Louis Barrault, Richard Burton, Red Buttons, Sean Connery, Henry Fonda, Gert Frobe, Curt Jurgens, Peter Lawford, Robert Mitchum, Kenneth More, Edmond O'Brien, Robert Ryan, Jean Servais, Rod Steiger and Robert Wagner. Paul Anka, who wrote the film's title song, shows up as an Army private. Scenes include the Allies parachuting into Ste. Mere Englise, where the paratroopers were mowed down by German bullets; a real-life sequence wherein the German and Allied troops unwittingly march side by side in the dark of night; and a spectacular three-minute overhead shot of the troops fighting and dying in the streets of Quistreham. The last major black-and-white road-show attraction, The Longest Day made millions, enough to recoup some of the cost of 20th Century Fox's concurrently produced Cleopatra. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

What Stars and what action. Any collector of war movies, like me have to have this gold standard movie for their collection. I saw the movie in the theatre when I was a kid and it wow me, then any Harry Potter would ever could. I seen a colorized version, but love the black and white one. This movie never gets old. It get better with age. Even if all the stars are gone.

Longest Day - an epic movie
Added 9/22/2009

I had seen this movie when I was a teenager and it first came out. It was a great movie then and holds even more meaning as I have learned more about my fathers job during D-Day. The movie has great picture quality which I did not expect. One of the great movies about the landing on Normandy and Omaha Beach.

Sent the wrong merchandise
Added 9/12/2009

I was greatly disappointed with Amazon, upon receipt of this product !! I clearly specified that I wanted the COLORISED version and clicked on same. I was led to believe by AMAZON that the colorised version was available, so I ordered it...And when it arrived, it was the same old B&W version !! I'm still interested, but ONLY if it's colorised...Please let me know CLEARLY if you have that version available or not. I can always give away the B&W version if I can acquire the colorised version....Do you have it or not???? Please answer me at [...] And no double talk, please !!
