      rich v Skip the first hour, which is a tired, slow love story. The combat action doesn't begin until at least an hour into the movie. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member More of a romance than a war film. Great cast . The war scenes are good . Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Audience Member D-Day the Sixth of June (1956) C-106m. ??? D: Henry Koster. Robert Taylor, Richard Todd, Dana Wynter, Edmond O'Brien, John Williams, Jerry Paris. Not quite THE LONGEST DAY but still compact military actioner of WW2's Normandy invasion with American officer Taylor and British leader Todd, their professional and personal problems. Several powerful action scenes. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review Audience Member The romances seemed completely unnecessary, and took away from an otherwise well-made war film, though had I been around at the time, I would have done my best to woo Dana Wynter myself. Being a huge Edmond O'Brien fan, this got extra marks from me. Worth a watch if you like films from this era, or war films in general...and a purchase and rewatches, if you are fans of any of the stars or of director Koster.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review dave j Tuesday, June 19, 2012 (1956) D-Day: The Sixth Of June ROMANCE/ WAR "D-Day" as the title indicates doesn't serve nothing but a backdrop for the fictious romance between 1 American sergent (Robert Taylor), 1 English woman (Dana Wyte) and 1 British sergent (Edmond O'Brien)- for almost a whole hour and a half are three people blah, blah, blahing, leaving with only 7 minutes of actual combat- yes folks I actually timed it( with the war focusing on the two sergeant's, of course). What makes this film worst is the fact that it's all made up-not even based on actual people, which would at least would've made the story much more interesting. I swear I can be more entertained from listening to actual veterans on "PBS" or the "History channel", for that matter. There is some great acting but my expectations should be met at least by looking at the movie's title which in my mind it's like false advertising, from my perspective anyway. 1 out of 4 Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Scott Weinberg Apollo Guide D-Day: The Sixth of June is a sappy old love-story wrapped up as a macho guy flick, and the movie barely works as either. Rated: 44/100 Jun 28, 2002 Full Review Read all reviews
