I was able to watch this in time for the 80th anniversary of D-Day. A.k.a Operation Overlord. And while this was shown on TV channel Turner Classic Movies, for the 1st time in years, they showed “Saving Private Ryan” from Steven Spielberg.
Out in Europe, many veterans went overseas to pay those who perished on D-Day. Prince William got the chance to meet Canadian prime Minister Trudeau. And while King Charles III & Queen Camilla got emotional, only U.S. President Joseph Biden stayed behind cause he’s got problems of his own.
For this motion picture that I am pleased, they’ve chosen an all star cast for this. John Wayne, Henry Fonda, Roddy McDowell, Red Buttons, Richard Burton, Robert Mitchum, Sal Mineo, Robert Wagner, Kenneth More, Sean Connery, Bernard Fox, and more.
This shows about how the Allied invasion of Normandy, was played out. On June 6th, 1944. First the airborne at night and day. And of course, the beach landings. To take back France, from the German forces under the reign of ruthless chancellor Adolf Hitler.
While the Canadians took on Juno beach mostly, the American forces took on Omaha beach. That’s where “Saving Private Ryan” took place.
8.4 out of 10 stars is what I give.
