	'''''The Longest Day''''' is the 1962 World War II film based on the non fiction novel of the same name written by Cornelius Ryan that chronicles the Allied invasion of France on D-Day, June 6, 1944. The 3-hour epic was overseen by 4 directors (Ken Annakin, Bernhard Wicki, Gerd Oswald, and Darryl F. Zanuck) and featured an international cast of 42 prominent actors including [[Kenneth More]], [[Richard Todd]], [[Richard Burton]], [[Robert Mitchum]], [[Sean Connery]], [[Henry Fonda]], [[Red Buttons]], Leo Genn, [[Peter Lawford]], [[John Wayne]], [[Irina Demick]], [[Paul Anka]], [[Eddie Albert]], [[Steve Forrest]], [[Jeffrey Hunter]], [[Sal Mineo]], [[Edmond O'Brien]], [[George Segal]], [[Rod Steiger]], [[Robert Wagner]] and [[Stuart Whitman]]. The film would also feature early roles for a future [[James Bond]] ([[Sean Connery]]) as well as two future Bond villains ([[Gert Fröbe]]) and ([[Curd Jürgens]]). ''The Longest Day'' held the record for the most expensive black and white picture made until the release of ''[[Schindler's List]]'' in 1993.
