Bottomly (Henry Fonda) directs the investigation, and it is not until one victim, Diane Cluny (Sally Kellerman), survives her attack and reports that she bit her attacker's hand that the clues fit together and lead to the capture of serial killer Albert DeSalvo (Tony Curtis).    1 User Review

  The sixth of June, 1944–D-Day–is relived in this saga about the Allied invasion of Europe via the beaches at Normandy. This war film is based on Cornelius Ryan's book "The Longest Day" that he compiled through interviews with D-Day survivors. The story is told through the eyes of all participants including the German high command, the French Resistance, and the Allied side of the invasion. A great epic that was nominated for Best Picture and won Oscars for Best Cinematography and Special Effects.
