1961 4 Oscars, 8 Major Actors Recreate WWII NormandyReview created: 08/24/08(updated 08/24/08)

This is a 2008, Blu-ray disc of the 1961, 8 major actor, 4 Oscar winning re-creation of the WWII Allies' invasion at Normandy Beach. Richard Burton, Sean Connery, Henry Fonda, Robert Mitchum, Robert Wagner, John Wayne, Paul Anka & Red Buttons create a stellar epic as Allied soldiers.
Obviously, since the acting is not the most spectacular part of this film, the 4 1962 Oscars went to Best Cinematography by Jean Bourgoin; Best Cinematography by Walter Wottitz; Best Sound Effects; & Best Special Effects.
Darryl F. Zanuck produced what has become known as one of the finest re-creations of a WWII battle, if not classic.
Owning it on DVD & Blue-ray seems nearly essential since this film is known to be a great achievement in visual & sound effects. It's impossible to view it on television through cable or satellite & get the high quality of these very special effects.
It's truly amazing that all of these actors worked together in 1 historic & classic film that was so significant to their generation~

Longest Day Blue RayReview created: 09/21/09

) I own 2 copies of the Longest Day on DVD, the regular and deluxe edition so I have watched the film 50 times. I wasn't quite sure how well Blu Ray could pull of a black and white film. Well I was impressed, the sound and picture is so crisp it is almost better in many regards than many colorized films.
Having been to the beaches, St Mere Eglise, Caen, and many of the other placed depicted in the battle it is safe to say it came off well.
I highly recomend getting this film on Blu!!

The Longest Day
) Really a great choice to upgrade one of the classic B&W movies to Blu-ray. Hope they will do this to other classics.
