“The Longest Day” without the schmaltz, a production similar to “A Bridge Too Far”.

Schmaltzy it was, but which one was the better movie, the one you'd want to see if you had to choose?

“A Bridge Too Far” took pains to be historically accurate, to present both an accurate account of the battle, and to convey the mood and experience of the participants, on both sides.

I think “The Longest Day” profanes the event.
