I watched
The Longest Day on DVD again last night - an excellent film made some 57
years ago now...
'Flight' Officer Richard Burton with his incorrect medal ribbons joining a group of pilots at some bar, where some were wearing SD caps, jolted a little. Was this Darryl F Zanuck's idea of an Officers' Mess? But that didn't really detract from the excellence of the film. Which is far better in this original version, with the French speaking in French and the Germans speaking German, than any all-English TV version of the film.
