When THE LONGEST DAY was being made the studios were scrambling to take back some of the audience it had lost to TV. Some of the formulas to do this was wide screens with stereo sound, road shows engagements, and as many stars as possible in cameo appearances. The film was well executed and the black and white cinematography is premo. Ray Hughes

As you may recall, minor-sequence star Sal Mineo's character burst into a
brief nova via a disasterous fluke! Also, actor who played Ike looked
uncannily similar to him. ~AH

  with dignity. Especially Rommel, Von Runstead, Jodel, the chain of command was much more apparent than the American chain of command. Another good attempt is THE BATTLE OF THE BULGE. You really should see these films in a 70mm theater. Ray
