The Longest Day - 3 1/2 stars out of 5 stars

The story of the D Day invasion of Normandy during WW11 is gripping but flawed.Released in 1962 it runs a very long 178 minutes and takes almost 1 hour to get going.Ah but when it does,its great.Thats why I took 1 and 1/2 stars off.1/2 for b&w another half for length and 1/2 for the subtitles over the german military scenes.
The cast is AAA+ ( sorry almost all male )for the time and so its unfair to name a few.Some of the fun is spotting big stars in small roles.Other than that there is little to say but thats its a must see for WW11 buffs and those who like star filled movies.Trailer URL follows the pix.
