The Longest Day (1962)

Synopsis

Allied troops coordinate and carry out the D-Day invasion on Normandy.

Review

It is pretty epic. The big 3 actors - Wayne, Mitchum, and Fonda - actually don't have that big of parts, but when they do show up, it's a treat and their commanding presence is quite something. An unexpected and awesome small appearance by Sean Connery in a Scottish regiment.
