- The retelling of June 6, 1944, from the perspectives of the Germans, the US, Britain, and the Free French. Marshall Erwin Rommel, touring the defenses being established as part of the Reich's Atlantic Wall, notes to his officers that when the Allied invasion comes they must be stopped on the beach. "For the Allies as well as the Germans, it will be the longest day. The longest day."
- The events of D-Day, told on a grand scale from both the Allied and German points of view.
- The photo of John Wayne wearing a helmet as a Major-General (two stars)on the main page, is NOT from The Longest Day but Cast a Giant Shadow. In Longest Day he was a Lieutenant Colonel from the 82nd. The best part is the casting of Richard Todd, a veteran of D-Day, and the piper with Lovatts commandos WAS Lord Lovatt's Piper Bill Millen. Casting actual participants adds to the realistic feel. I argued with my family about the Longest Day vs. Saving Private Ryan. Saving Private Ryan was a good movie, but it was a fictionalized account. Whereas, Longest Day had many of the actual participants in or providing technical advice. Ryan had better effects(big deal) but if you watch it, it's a cliché' ridden WWII movie just like Bataan or others. Compare the "central casting" characters with WWII era movies. The breadth of the battle was compacted in a couple of hours and was an excellent movie, one of the best. The characters came alive and were believable. It has stood the test of time.
- Like Tora! Tora! Tora! it shows the war from different perspectives. You get to see it from the point of view of the Allies, including the British and the French resistance and the Germans. This makes it the single greatest WW 2 film ever made. And that is why Saving Ryan's Privates, the Thin Red Line etc. etc. have not outdone it. Simply because they insist on trying to convince the viewer that the USA won the war all by itself and by creating fictional plots rather than dealing with historical facts.
- Special to the New York Times<br/><br/>Paris, Sept. 25---The world premiere of the motion picture "The Longest Day" took place tonight at a glittering Parisian gala that had the Eiffel Tower sparkling.<br/><br/>It was the kind of event that Paris does with a kind of brilliance that is hard to march. Detachments of British, French and American soldiers drew stiffly to attention before the Palais de Chaillot as the guests arrived in a dazzling array of furs and gowns and extravagant jewelry.<br/><br/>____________________________________________ Chicago American, Wednesday, July 26, 1961:<br/><br/>LOUELLA O. PARSONS<br/><br/>A cable from Darryl Zanuck brings word that he has cast British actor Richard Todd as Maj. John Howard in "The Longest Day."<br/><br/>Darryl said: "A strange angle is that Todd was a lieutenant in the airborne infantry troop which Maj. Howard led and which captured the Orne river bridge in a glider attack on June 6, 1944.<br/><br/>"Howard himself has been engaged by me as technical consultant for this scene. Our location shooting starts Tuesday on Normandy beach."<br/><br/>______________________________ Chicago American, Wednesday, August 9, 1961, p. 21, c. 3:<br/><br/>LOUELLA O. PARSONS<br/><br/>Fabian, still in the east, sends word that Darryl Zanuck has offered him a featured role in "The Longest Day." Fabian told Me:<br/><br/>"I'm leaving almost immediately for Paris. I'll play one of the soldiers. The best part, too, is that I can eat my cake and have it, because I am promised that I will be finished in time to keep my engagement at Steel pier in Atlantic City over Labor day."<br/><br/>I had no more than received this news from Fabian, when word came from Zanuck that he has a new find---Irina Demich, red headed French model.<br/><br/>This is Irina's first movie and she will play a resistance worker in Normandy.<br/><br/>_______________________________<br/><br/>[same], Tuesday, August 29, 1961, p. 13, c. 5:<br/><br/>Fabian writes from France that he is loving every minute in Paris. He's there for the Zanuck picture, "The Longest Day."<br/><br/>________________________________<br/><br/>Chicago American, Thursday, October 19, 1961, p. 35, c. 8:<br/><br/>Fabian Signs for 'Hobbs'<br/><br/>Fabian, teen-age actor-recording artist who recently completed a role in "The Longest Day," has been signed to star with James Stewart and Maureen O'Hara in "Mr. Hobbs Takes a Vacation," soon to go before the cameras.<br/><br/>________________________<br/><br/>Chicago American, Tuesday October 3, 1961:<br/><br/>LOUELLA O. PARSONS<br/><br/>That Fabian gets around. Just back from completing "The Longest Day" in Europe, he's off for a 6 week singing tour of Denmark, Sweden, and Norway.<br/><br/>_________________________________<br/><br/>[Same], Saturday, December 30, 1961, p. 7, c. 7:<br/><br/>Fabian received an encore from Darryl F. Zanuck to return to Europe as soon as he finishes "Mr. Hobbs Takes a Vacation." Darryl has in mind an enlarged role for Fabian in "The Longest Day."<br/><br/>________________________________ Chicago American, Sunday, September 3, 1961, p. 18, c. 2:<br/><br/>DOROTHY KILGALLEN<br/><br/>. . . . There is evidently no budget for "The Longest Day." Producer Darryl Zanuck is dealing not just with actors and actors' agents, he's dealing with countries and cabinets. One nation which sent half its fleet to appear in the picture was at a loss as to how to send the bill for services rendered. It's representatives just said they wouldn't know what to charge Zanuck until after the next session of parliament.<br/><br/>______________________________ Chicago American, Wednesday, August 16, 1961, p. 20, c. 4:<br/><br/>DOROTHY KILGALLEN<br/><br/>Paul Anka Set for Soldier Role<br/><br/>New York---Miss Midnight's Notebook: Young singing sensation Paul Anka has been signed by Darryl Zanuck for an important role in "The Longest Day," currently before the cameras in Normandy. He flies to France next week to play an American ranger who played a key part in the D-day landings . . . .<br/><br/>_________________________________<br/><br/>Chicago American, Tuesday, August 23, 1961, p. 9, c. 4:<br/><br/>LOUELLA O. PARSONS<br/><br/>Paul Anka no more than landed in London for his TV spectacular than he did a walkon for the Bob Hope-Bing Crosby "Road to Hong Kong." His next stop is France, for "The Longest Day."<br/><br/>_____________________________________ Chicago American, Thursday, October 12, 1961, p. 32, c. 3:<br/><br/>LOUELLA O. PARSONS<br/><br/>Before Robert Mitchum punches the time clock at the Mirisch Bros. studio for "Two for the Seesaw," he'll fly to Paris Oct. 23 to play one of the top heroes of D-day. Darryl Zanuck phoned Bob long-distance to ask him to play Brig. Gen. Norman Cota in "The Longest Day."<br/><br/>Bob will work for 2 weeks, then vacation in Europe until Dec. 15, when he'll report back to Paris for another week of interior filming.<br/><br/>"The Longest Day" will have a huge cast. Here's just a few of the names: William Holden, Richard Todd, Robert Wagner, Peter Lawford, Paul Anka, Curt Jurgens, Tommy Sands, Fabian, Red Button and Irina Demich.<br/><br/>______________________________________ Chicago American, Friday, October 20, 1961, p. 20, c. 4:<br/><br/>DOROTHY KILGALLEN<br/><br/>. . . . Will Darryl Zanuck succeed in signing Tony Perkins and Robert Mitchum for roles in "The Longest Day?" . . . .<br/><br/>_________________________________ Chicago American, Friday, November 24, 1961, p. 16, c. 4:<br/><br/>Nazi Forts Used in Film<br/><br/>A former Nazi island stronghold off the French coast is providing Darryl F. Zanuck with an authentic locale for his CinemaScope saga of World War II, "The Longest Day."<br/><br/>The site is the rough terrained Ile de Re, which was fortified by the Germans in the early 1940s.<br/><br/>Since the sturdy bunkers were still there, Zanuck took over the site for the shooting of the invasion epic based on Cornelius Ryan's best seller.<br/><br/>William Holden, Henry Fonda, Robert Mitchum, Peter Lawford, Robert Wagner, Richard Todd, and Red Buttons head the cast.<br/><br/>__________________________ Chicago Tribune, Sunday, October 14, 1962, pt. 5, p. 11, c. 1 (extract):<br/><br/>Stars Often Born, Rarely Discovered<br/><br/>by Robert Anderson<br/><br/>For Irina Demich, a French fashion model and former dress designer, the big moment came without warning at a quiet cocktail party in Paris when she was introduced to Darryl F. Zanuck. He had been signing top stars in several countries for "The Longest Day," which opened last week at the Roosevelt theater. He was looking for "a fresh new face" to play the role of Janine Boitard, a French resistance worker.<br/><br/>The glass slipper fit Irina perfectly, and she was soon ankle deep in battle scene mud as Zanuck's cameras ground out the story of the first agonizing 24 hours of the Normandy invasion.<br/><br/>Irina says she was "plain scared" in making the movie. "I wanted to act, but I never thought I would start out in so important a part. Now I must work very hard to do it justice."<br/><br/>Zanuck was pleased with her performance, and says he believes the beautiful red-haired Parisian "has every chance of becoming a great new screen personality."<br/><br/>________________________________ Chicago American, November 21, 1961, p. 16, c. 1:<br/><br/>DOROTHY KILGALLEN<br/><br/>. . . .Film biggies connected with the controversial Darryl Zanuck picture, "The Longest Day," in American troops were used as extras, say the Washington worriers can rest easy. The men who took all the risks in the scenes were the actor, not the troops. Jeffrey Hunter, for example, almost lost his right eye in a weapon mishap.<br/><br/>____________________________________ Chicago American, Saturday, October 21, 1961, p. 9, c. 5:<br/><br/>LOUELLA O. PARSONS<br/><br/>Ray Danton, who finished working for Dick Zanuck in "The Chapman Report," flies out tomorrow to work for Darryl Zanuck in "The Longest Day" in Normandy. Ray plays Robert Mitchum's aide, an action filled part which runs thru the entire picture. Warners agreed to the loan-out because, when the shooting on "Longest Day" moves from Normandy to London, Ray will work in some personal appearances for "Majority of One," his latest Warner movie.<br/><br/>Going on the same plane with Ray will be Eddie Albert, who is doing a cameo bit in "Longest Day." Eddie will be there only a week. He's due in San Francisco the following Monday for a guest star part in "Reprieve."<br/><br/>_________________________________ Chicago American, Friday, December, 22, 1961, p. 11, c. 4:<br/><br/>DOROTHY KILGALLEN<br/><br/>. . . . Darryl Zanuck is paging Paul Newman for a part in "The Longest Day." . . .<br/><br/>__________________________________ Chicago Daily News, Friday, February 2, 1962, p. 10, c. 4 (with photo):<br/><br/>John Wayne Says Nuts<br/><br/>D-Day Is June in January<br/><br/>By Sam Lesner<br/><br/>June in January may be great for a song title, but big John Wayne has one word, Nuts! for romantic song writers.<br/><br/>January is damp and cold on the Normandy beaches and June 6, 1944, was a gray, cold day, too.<br/><br/>That's why Darryl F. Zanuck is making like June in January now on the beaches of Normandy where he is filming 'The Longest Day,' drama of D-Day.<br/><br/>With a cold in the head, and working in cotton battle fatigue uniform, it was a very long day for Wayne, too early this week when I talked with him via trans-Atlantic telephone.<br/><br/>It was 10:15 p.m. in Boulogne, France, where Zanuck has his production headquarters for a war drama that appears to have a whole division of film stars working in it.<br/><br/>Wayne now in his 32nd year as a screen actor, and a star for 21-years, is playing the role of Lieutenant Colonel Benjamin Vandervoort of the 82nd Airborne Division.<br/><br/>Serious and unbending, Vandervoort was respected but never liked by his men and his superiors. a5c7b9f00b
