The Longest Day

It's got John Wayne. It presents a reasonable historic truth. It's BIG movie with a cast of millions. It's got John Wayne AND Henry Fonda. The actions scenes are great, the personalities are great too. It's got John wayne And Henry Fonda AND Sean Connery AND Richard Burton (who gave a great though short performance as the downed RAF flyer baked on morphine with his leg open like a zipper from the knee to the crotch. Hoping the medics get to him before the morphione wears off. Ouch.).

The Longest Day leaves you with the impression that you are really watching a great event unfold. The story is big, the scope is big, the movie is big. And the scene with the German soldier screaming at his superior officer over the phone is an absolute riot! I found the movie didn't leave me wanting more. You felt like you were getting the whole story.

Good music too. "Da-da-da-dummmm"

Oh, and it's got John Wayne.

Medic - "You're ankle is broken sir."

John Wayne - "Well put my boot back on and lace it up. Tight!"
