I've always held this in high regard. Of the many all star cast films from that era, this one seems one of the more worthy, to shine spotlight on the events of June 6, 1944.
Robert Mitchum is the star for me, Red Buttons is fantastic as always, & John Wayne adds some gravitas to balance it all out.
Not nearly as violent as the likes of SPR, though much more accessible. It plays as a feature length stitched together by entertaining & enlightening side scenes, with known stars of its time, some in for mere moments. The Europeans speaking their own languages with subtitles is a nice touch.
My #50 all time.
