Negative Positive
Title: A Mixed Bag
Review: Having several times made the trip to Normandy and the beaches, I was initially very impressed with the accuracy of the landscape. Moreover,based upon my reading of the history, the movie itself is, overall, a very true to fact rendition of the events of that day. And though not as grimly realistic as subsequent cinematic depictions of the events, it does capture the angst.For me the only disconcerting flaw in the rendition is the typical 1960's cinematic tendency to "cuteness". There are numerous examples, but the scene showing the two opposing files of Germans and American troops along a low wall was just too egregiously precious.
