Henry D @Henry_Domke 2 days ago One of the better war films. Beautifully filmed, with a fine print. It was ingenious to have an endless parade of excellent actors without any one of them playing the lead. Likewise, showing the action from four different perspectives - the French, Germans, British and Americans - sounds as though it could become confusing, but it never did. Instead, it helped convey the enormous scope of the invasion and how much was happening during that one long day. One measure of how good the film was is that the three hours went by quickly. It never dragged. See more Jules K @Jules1949 Aug 2, 2026 Terrible special effects. Rommel shot against background footage of a beach with a white outline around his face. Sloppy. The airplanes and gliders, awful. The glider models crashing don't work. The special effects crews should have been fired. The writing is stilted. So is the acting. But more because of the bad writing. This is a synchronic structure, so the writing is challenging. But the pacing in this film drags. And I love WWII movies. The directing is terrible.

"The Longest Day" takes on the monumental task of retelling the story of D-Day. It doesn't get everything right. And the acting is often too whimsical. But it does a great job in conveying the enormous undertaking of the invasion. I watch this film about once every 3 or 4 years.
