One of the greatest epic war films ever made
The Longest Day released in 1962 was one of the early epic war films released in the 1960s and 70s. It was put together by Darryl Zanuck who was one of the major studio executives in Hollywood. He went all out on this film hiring separate British, French and German crews to film in each of those countries. It also had a star studded cast including John Wayne, Henry Fonda, Richard Burton, Sean Connery, Peter Lawford, Robert Wagner, Rod Steiger, Edmond O’Brien, Robert Mitchum, Roddy McDowall, Eddie Albert, Richard Beymer, amongst many others. Those two factors alone were the major reasons why the movie was one of the most expensive movies made of its time.<br /><br />The Longest Day set a precedent as well. Besides the all star cast it had huge, sweeping war scenes. Thousands of extras were hired, it was filmed across Europe, it had realistic beach landings in Normandy, etc. The enormity of the battles would be repeated by others afterward.<br /><br />The movie was also pretty historically accurate which was also not something war movies were known for. The German generals complaining about how to respond to the invasion, the U.S. paratroopers getting spread all over France, the assault on Pointe du Hoc, the attack on Ouistreham by French commandos were all based upon real events. The major characters were all real people as well.<br /><br />Another innovation of the movie was that it tried to show all the sides in the conflict. That included not only the German generals at the start, then the British and Americans afterward, but also the French. There were Free French forces in the invasion and French resistance fighters that were also included in the film to give it a well rounded presentation of the combatants.<br /><br />Really war movies come down to the action. Here it was outstanding. There were huge productions such as the landings in Normandy or the French attack upon Ouistreham that has long panoramic shots of the fighting.<br /><br />The movie also tried to humanize the battle. A British parachute priest loses his communion in a river and is intent upon finding it even though there are bullets flying around him. You get an American paratrooper played by Red Buttons who landed on the top of a French church and was stuck there for hours. There’s a Frenchman that is so happy when the invasion begins he ignores all the explosions going off around him and flies the French flag. There’s Richard Burton, a shot down British pilot and Richard Beymer a soldier from the 82nd Airborne Division who end up in a French farmhouse looking at a dead German officer who has his boots on the wrong feet because he was in such a hurry to respond to the invasion. Burton reflects on the recent events and says, “He’s [the German] dead, I’m crippled and you’re lost. I guess it is always like that in war.”<br /><br />Overall, the Longest Day is a classic and still holds up in the present era.
