Title: Normandy Portrayed in Stark Detail
Review: I hold a B.A. in History, am a soldier, and have been to Normandy. I find that this movie, as much as it can in the time given, portrays the locations as actions of D-Day as well as any movie ever made. One can go to St. Mere Eglise today and see the replica 82nd Airborne Paratrooper hanging from the bell tower as illustrated in the film. One can visit Point du Hoc, and see the bombed out bunkers that the Rangers attacked, and one can see the results of the carnage of the beach fronts, Sword, Gold, Juno, Omaha, and Utah in the many grave above Omaha beach, and throughout the Normandy region. In my opinion, this classic film portrays the greatest military feat in history with dignity and accuracy in so much as was possible at the time it was made. Being shot in Black and White gives it a documentary feel. Each nationality represented speak their native language, adding to the realism. A wonderful movie for action fan and history buff alike! A definate keeper.
