Movie for the day: TLDay

Rico watched the end (as usual, the best part) of The Longest Day:
The events of D-Day, 6 June 1944, told on a grand scale from both the Allied and German points of view.
Rico says it had, in addition to all the ships, boats, vehicles, and special effects, the most amazing cast, including Henry Fonda as Brigadier General Theodore Roosevelt Jr.Sean Connery as Private FlanaganRichard Burton as Flying Officer David Campbell, Peter Lawford as Lord Lovat, Robert Mitchum as Brigadier General Norman Cota, Robert Ryan as Brigadier General James M. Gavin, and the inimitable John Wayne as Lieutenant Colonel Benjamin Vandervoort. Coming in at the end, however, Rico missed the best line, when Rommel is told where the Allies are landing: "Normandie? Normandie? Was für ein unsinn ist das?"
