Audience Member More of a romance than a war film. Great cast . The war scenes are good . Rated 3/5 Stars •  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 4/5 Stars •  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 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member Cardboard melodramatics form the backdrop for this war flick that only loosely focuses on the name event. Dana Wynter is fine as is Jerry Paris in a small role, Todd is more an afterthought than a character. Taylor is stiff as usual and O'Brien consumes the scenery and plows over any actor in his way. Forgettable. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member The Sixth of June was a day on which the world pivoted. This film is an atypical view on the operation that changed the 20th century history. However, this film does not even involve June 6th for the majority of the film. It seems like this film would be better as an American living in London or a World War II love story. Robert Taylor's performance is solid but features some cheesy moments with Dana Wynter. Taylor is not a well known actor but manages a decent performance. Dana Wynter's performance is also decent aside for some corny moments. Richard Todd gives a stiff performance in a role that is strangely similar to the one that he will play in 'The Longest Day'. The director Henry Koster, winner of Best Director for the Bishop's wife, focuses strongly on the relationship between Brad and Val. The narrations that occur before the flashbacks are laugh-out-loud funny even though they are not intended to be. How John meets his demise is quite strange and seems unrealistic (maybe it did happen to people). The ending between the two lovers, Brad and Val, leaves the viewer wanting more.
