Editorial Reviews

Entertainment Weekly - Roy Hemming (06/03/1994)

"...The all-star DAY holds up as a respectable portrayal of the event..."
USA Today - Mike Clark (11/05/1999)

"...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..."
Total Film - Daniel Webb (07/01/2003)

"This stunningly realised 1962 restaging of D-Day is the last great war epic."
Uncut - Uncut Staff (07/01/2004)

Sight and Sound - Geoffrey Macnab (08/01/2004)

      1961 4 Oscars, 8 Major Actors Recreate WWII Normandy

    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~
