Entertainment Reviews:
This stunningly realised 1962 restaging of D-Day is the last great war epic.
Uncut
[I]t's hard not to admire the logistical ingenuity with which Darryl Zanuck put together a production of this size.
Sight and Sound
...John Sturges' robust POW actioner follows the template he set with THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN... .It's turns from Dickie Attenborough and David McCallum that provide the heart...
Total Film
Rating: 5/5 --
Still holds up as the best D-Day picture ever made.

Over-long and laden with the usual national stereotypes.

Time Out
Rating: B --
Longest film imaginable at three-hours, which proves to be a hinderance.

Ozus' World Movie Reviews
Whatever his talent as a producer, Mr. Zanuck is no director. I'm sure he is an ardent patriot, but he has, quite unconsciously, made our own colonels and generals look rather silly.
