Collection of films set during World War II. In 'D-Day, the Sixth
of June' (1956) a British and an American soldier (Robert Taylor
and Richard Todd), both in love with the same woman (Dana Wynter),
are travelling to Normandy in 1944. Both fully aware of the dangers
of the impending invasion, they stave off fear by reminiscing about
their romances. 'The Longest Day' (1962) sees an all-star
international cast re-tell the events of the Allied Landings in
Normandy in 1944. John Wayne, Robert Mitchum and Henry Fonda head
the cast. 'A Bridge Too Far' (1977) is Richard Attenborough's
account of the failed 1944 Arnhem assault. Dirk Bogarde, James
Caan, Robert Redford and Sean Connery are among those battling
against insurmountable odds to secure one of the bridges essential
to the Allied advance into Germany. The life and times of America's
most famous modern general, George Patton (George C. Scott), are
recreated in 'Patton' (1970), a biographical drama which focuses on
his controversial exploits during the Second World War. Guy
Hamilton's classic war film 'Battle of Britain' (1969) looks at how
England defended itself from the German aerial onslaught in the
summer of 1940. Laurence Olivier plays Sir Hugh Dowding, the chief
air marshal whose fleet outmanoeuvre the Luftwaffe, despite a
numerical disadvantage. George Segal and Robert Vaughn star in John
Guillermin's 'The Bridge at Remagen' (1969), telling the story of
the day that the Nazis blew up the last remaining bridge over the
Rhine, leaving their own men stranded on the wrong side. In
'Attack' (1956), a group of American soldiers find themselves
trapped by the Germans during the Battle of the Bulge. The
situation reaches a crisis point when their cowardly and indecisive
captain (Eddie Albert) eventually flips into sheer panic. 'Von
Ryan's Express' (1965) tells the story of US pilot Colonel Joseph
Ryan (Frank Sinatra) who is shot down and placed in a German POW
camp. Although Joseph is more concerned with his own survival than
actually breaking free from the camp, he unpredictably gets chosen
as leader of a daring escape attempt, facing many hazards along the
way.
