The events of D-Day, told on a grand scale from both the Allied and German points of view in this movie. The German military, due to arrogance, ignorance and a sleeping Adolf Hitler, delay their response to the Allied landing, with crippling results.

A far cry from the gore-drenched Saving Private Ryan, legendary producer Darryl F. Zanuck's heartfelt recreation of the D-Day landings is, in its own way, every bit as memorable.January 24, 2007
Produced by Zanuck, this WWII epic is the joint effort of 3 directors, no less than 5 writers, and numerous stars, including John Wayne.January 19, 2006
Longest film imaginable at three-hours, which proves to be a hinderance.July 01, 2014
Authentic 3-hour WWII D-Day drama; no graphic violence.March 25, 2005
The longest movie; the stunt of too many great actors in small roles wears thin. Saving Private Ryan did it better and in much less time.January 01, 2000
Aside from a great war tale, Day also marks what must be the only film where you can see John Wayne, Henry Fonda, Fabián, Sal Mineo, Eddie Albert, Red Buttons, Peter Lawford, and Sean Connery all fighting the same war.June 01, 2008
Though the film makes a few egregious historical changes for dramatic effect, The Longest Day pretty much lives and dies by its scale. [Blu-Ray]December 07, 2004
It is, and will most likely always remain, the definitve D-Day picture.
