D-Day, the Sixth of June (1956)
Member Rating:  
We don't see much of Omaha Beach in D-Day, the Sixth of June. Instead, the film concentrates on a romantic triangle involving American officer Robert Taylor, British officer Richard Todd and the lovely Dana Wynter. Taylor and Todd spend the last hours before D-Day reminiscing about Wynter. The romantic dilemma is eventually solved shortly after the invasion, when one of the men conveniently steps on a land mine. Lionel Shapiro's novel was geared more for the beach-and-bonbons crowd than war buffs, and the film follows suit. 20th Century-Fox gives a far more thorough account of D-Day itself in 1963's The Longest Day. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

    D-Day, the Sixth of June, closely follows the book, titled the same written by Lionel Shapiro. Robert Taylor gives a credible job of portraying Capt. Brad Parker although he is a bit old for the part and for being a Captain. Dana Wynter (coincidently with the same last name as the other love interest Col. John Wynter), holds her own but the passion is elusive. Richard Todd as Col. John Wynter, a real life commando in the British Airborne Corps in WW II gives an excellent low key dramatic performance.
