Buy This Item The Longest Day (Two-Disc Collector's Edition) by 20th Century Fox  Available from Amazon  $14.99  on 9-23-2008     This special collector's commemorative edition has been issued in honor of the June 6, 1944 Allied invasion of France, which marked the beginning of the end of Nazi domination over Europe. The attack involved 3,000,000 men, 11,000 planes and 4,000 ships, comprising the largest armada the world has ever seen. <P>The Longest Day is a vivid, hour-by-hour recreation of this historic event. Featuring a stellar international cast, and told from the perspectives of both sides, it is a fascinating look at the massive preparations, mistakes, and random events that determined the outcome of one of the biggest battles in history. Winner of two 1962 Oscars® (Special Effects and Cinematography), The Longest Day ranks as one of Hollywood's truly great war films. Reader Reviews I bought this DVD and several others as Christmas gifts for my husband. He finally sat down to watch it tonight and I wish he hadn't. The DVD cuts out just before the final chapter and freezes the playback. This turned what I had hoped to be a thoughtful gift for a fan of WWII films into a very bad experience for us both. There has to be a more well manufactured version out there. My advice is, look for it and avoid this one.
