Welcome to The Georgia Politics Podcast! On today’s show we mark the 80th anniversary of D-Day by reviewing the best movie about the infamous day, The Longest Day.

Craig is joined in studio by Professor Stone to discuss the gripping war epic, which depicts the events of D-Day, June 6, 1944. The film features an ensemble cast including John Wayne, Henry Fonda, and Robert Mitchum.

The movie excels in its realistic portrayal of the Normandy invasion, using before-its-time cinematography and practical effects to recreate the chaos and bravery of the day. The performances are compelling, and the inclusion of multiple perspectives—Allied, German, and French—adds depth and authenticity absent from many other films about the day.

The film remains engaging through its episodic structure and attention to historical detail. "The Longest Day" is a powerful tribute to the courage of those involved in D-Day, making it essential viewing for both history enthusiasts and movie lovers.
