In commemoration of the thousands of men who fought and died in the turning point in World War II to protect the freedom we may now be in danger of losing, this is my tribute.
The Longest Day is a 1962 American epic war film based on the Cornelius Ryan 1959 non-fiction book of the same name about the D-Day landings in Normandy on June 6, 1944. The film was produced by Darryl F. Zanuck for 20th Century Fox. This is the soundtrack from the film.
The The Longest Day featured a galaxy of movie stars many of whom appeared in cameo roles and was narrated by American broadcaster, Lowell Thomas.
The international ensemble cast included John Wayne, Kenneth More, Richard Todd, Robert Mitchum, Richard Burton, Steve Forrest, Sean Connery, Henry Fonda, Red Buttons, Peter Lawford, Eddie Albert, Jeffrey Hunter, Stuart Whitman, Tom Tryon, Rod Steiger, Leo Genn, Gert Fröbe, Irina Demick, Bourvil, Curd Jürgens, George Segal, Robert Wagner, Paul Anka and Arletty.
The score for The Longest Day was written by Maurice Jarre and orchestrated by head of A&R at Columbia Records, Mitch Miller.
The Longest Day premiered in France on September 25, 1962, and in
the United States on October 4. It received positive acclaim from
critics and was a significant commercial success, becoming the
highest-grossing black-and-white movie at the time. At the 35th Academy Awards, the film was nominated for five Oscars, including Best Picture, and won awards for Best Cinematography (Black-and-White) and Best Special Effects.
