But in its re-creation of events leading to the epochal battle, the film is captivating and grand, and the parade of famous actors who cross the screen naturally give the already charged action even more of a boost. Three directors worked on it: Ken Annakin (Battle of the Bulge), Andrew Marton (Crack in the World), and Bernhard Wicki (this film being his only credit). --Tom Keogh Average Rating:
 Rating:  - a great ww2 movieone of only 2 of my favorite war flicks.i was happy to find it on dvd here.

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. To make matters ... Read More Rating: - The Longest DayI love this classic war movie! Because it has the best Actor of all times is John Wayne. Well anyway the movie looks really good on Blu-ray. But it is not in color. But you should own it today and yes it's a great movie. Rating:  - Good CopyNice 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. But the price made it worth it. Browse for similar items by category:
