The D-Day invasion is re-enacted by an ensemble crowd of over-the-top actors.

Wow, five stars from the Coo.

I was a little less impressed. I give it a bunch of credit for it's scale and it's ability to get that many names in one cast. But I also have to admit that more than a few of those names are guys who never impress me. There were a lot of directors, but some of the blocking in the non-combat scenes looked like you were watching a musical and they were setting up a big song and dance number. Part of that is probably Richard Beymer (Tony from West Side Story) monologuing.

I read that they had originally planned to cast Eisenhower as himself. That would have been cool.
