From Facebook.
And, I remember thinking when I saw that "Gone With the Wind" had been released fifty years ago back in 1989, thinking, "Man, that WAS A LONG TIME AGO." And here is a movie I remember seeing several times as a young lad, and now, it was released FIFTY YEARS AGO.
This date, October 3, 1962, the World War II classic "The Longest Day" was released to theaters. It told, on a grand scale, the story of June 6, 1944, from both the Allied and German sides of the story.
It won two Academy Awards for Best Cinematography and Best Special Effects. Released world-wide, it was seen by millions and was primarily shot in France.
Some 42 Hollywood actors and actresses appeared in it.
Like John Wayne's character in the flick, Lt. Col. Benjamin Vandervoot, said, "You can't give the enemy a break. Send him to hell."
Wonder If Anyone Is Showing the Movie Tonight. No Wait, There's That Debate. --GreGen
The USS North Carolina (BB-55) My all-time favorite warship. As an elementary school student in North Carolina, I donated nickels and dimes to save this ship back in the early sixties.
