"...Incredible scope and sweep....Fast-moving, dramatically on-target, and searingly realistic..." -- Rating: B+
"...John Sturges' robust POW actioner follows the template he set with THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN... .It's turns from Dickie Attenborough and David McCallum that provide the heart..."
"This stunningly realised 1962 restaging of D-Day is the last great war epic."
"THE LONGEST DAY features a massive all-star cast in its re-creation of the Allied invasion at Normandy Beach during World War II."
"...The all-star DAY holds up as a respectable portrayal of the event..."
"[I]t's hard not to admire the logistical ingenuity with which Darryl Zanuck put together a production of this size."
