Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

Hadrina The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Robert Joyner The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

JohnHowardReid Copyright 1956 by 20th Century-Fox Film Corp. New York opening at the Roxy: 29 May 1956. U.S. release: June 1956. U.K. release: 15 October 1956. Australian release: 6 September 1956. Sydney opening at the Regent. 9,560 feet. 106 minutes. SYNOPSIS: American army captain falls in love with an English girl who is engaged to his commanding officer. NOTES: Fox's 55th CinemaScope release did rather well at all ticket windows, despite extremely negative reviews. COMMENT: I'm tempted to say that this is one of the few war films that's suitable for children, mainly because it's so boring. "D-Day the Sixth of June" should have been an epic, but it emerges not just as a damp squib but as a bore. Yes, this "great love story of the great war" is a plain bore. For a while there, the director and the screenwriters do battle to see who can come across as the dullest. On his record, Koster would not seem to offer much opposition, but it says much for the lack of quality and incredible dullness of the writing, that Messrs Moffat and Brown win handsomely. The Dana Wynter/Richard Todd/Robert Taylor triangle must be one of the least interesting, most predictable and grandly tedious romances in film history. Miss Wynter's frosty personality just can't help being bland. But Robert Taylor's lethargic performance is unexpected and thus doubly disappointing. By way of contrast, Richard Todd and in particular Edmond O'Brien really throw themselves into their roles. Unfortunately they have little to work on or with, but they certainly make the most of the sparse material they're handed. John Williams manages to make some impression, despite being miscast, but the rest of the support players are little help. Photographer Lee Garmes tries hard to give the picture's lighting a bit of style, but is ultimately defeated by very moderate production values, especially the use of lots of stock footage which is supremely obvious in CinemaScope blow-ups.

Devin Lee In my opinion the movie has some strong acting and is good entertainment. The casting was successful as the characters worked well with each other. The action was powerful and, for the time, realistic. For a movie solely for entertainment, I would definitely recommend it.However, personally I was using it as part of a movie analysis project about D-Day and WWII. This is where I would agree with other comments saying that it is misleading and has little to do with the history of WWII and D-Day. In fact I have had trouble even locating any historical information surrounding the Special Force Six raid at all.Thus, this could have been set during any event in WWII and still have been been a successful movie for entertainment, but nothing your history teacher would show in class.

boston 2step This film had it all. Action,romance,atmosphere & tremendous attention to detail as life was then. People living life to the full not knowing whether that day would be their last. I was only a young child in 1944 but this time period will be remembered long after I am dead & gone. My favourite character was Colonel Winter played by Richard Todd who was himself in volved in the fighting in Normandy & beyond. Colonel Timmer played by Edmund O Brian also stood out as the brash US officer. Dana Wynter's Valerie Russell's beauty typified the English rose of the period. Other performances by Robert Taylor & John Williams added to the sheer class of this film, well worth seeing despite being 50 years old.

witsend64 This is one of those movies where history (IWW II) seems to get in the way of romance (Taylor and Wynter). He's a married American officer stationed in England, falling in love with a beautiful young Red Cross worker (Wynter), while she's already in love with a gung ho British officer (Todd). Wow! All that with bombs falling, guns firing and secret missions. Taylor and Wynter pull it off nicely, but the movie as a whole will leave you a little disappointed. Mind you, it is a good way to kill a couple of hours.
