1st let me say this is VHS - so Im sorry for the quality but not many have seen it in color. The Longest Day is a mammoth all-star re-creation of the D-Day invasion personally orchestrated by Darryl F. Whenever possible the original locations were utilized and an all-star international cast impersonates the people involved from high-ranking officials to ordinary GIs.

One of the very first World War II films made by an American studio in which the members of each country spoke nearly all their dialogue in the language of that country: the Germans spoke German, the French spoke French, and the Americans and the British spoke English. There were subtitles on the bottom of the screen to translate the various languages.

There were two versions of this movie, one where all the actors spoke English and the other (the better known one) where the French and German actors spoke their respective languages. 20th Century Fox was taking a real gamble making this film. At ten million dollars, it was a hugely daring venture, but even more risky was (1963), which was being filmed concurrently. This was to set Fox back the then unprecedented sum of forty million dollars. Although 'Cleopatra' did well at the box office, it was simply too expensive to recoup its costs and nearly bankrupted the studio. Fortunately, this film turned out to be one of Fox's biggest hits and helped offset the financial damage caused by the Egyptian epic.

(playing Major John Howard, Officer Commanding D Company of The 2nd Battalion The Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire Light Infantry, Air Landing Brigade, 6th Airborne Division) was himself in Normandy on D-Day, and participated as Capt. Todd of the 7th Parachute Battalion, 5th Parachute Brigade, British 6th Airborne Division. His battalion actually went into action as reinforcements, via a parachute jump (after the gliders had landed and completed the initial coup de main assault). Captain Richard 'Sweeney' Todd was moved from the plane he was originally scheduled to jump from, to another.

The original plane was shot down, killing everyone on board. The scene of the French commando assault in Ouistreham was filmed in the nearby town of Port-en-Bessin. A building seen in the background of the long tracking shot is painted with the words 'Bazar de Ouistreham'. A local resident has indicated that this sign originally said 'Bazar de Port-en-Bessin', but the town name was painted over to say 'Ouistreham' for filming, then restored to say 'Port-en-Bessin' after filming.
