Summary: After seeing "Saving Private Ryan", this epic tale about the Normandy invasion will look sanitized. But in its re-creation of events leading to the epochal battle, the film is captivating and grand, and the parade of famous actors who cross the screen naturally give the already charged action even more of a boost. Three directors worked on it: Ken Annakin ("Battle of the Bulge"), Andrew Marton ("Crack in the World"), and Bernhard Wicki (this film being his only credit). "--Tom Keogh"
