Yeah, Dad won World War Two . . .
oscaralbert2 January 2016
Warning: Spoilers
. . . Fox honcho Richard D. Zanuck says toward the close of this four-minute puff piece. The Zanucks were the opposite of the Warners, just as the Red states opposed the Blue states in fighting and dying to preserve their indolent culture based upon the Blood, Sweat, and Tears of Racistly-selected slaves. In reality, Dick lets slip in his DREAM, Zanuck Senior merely photographed the corpses of the Brave Draftee Heroes who'd ACTUALLY won World War Two the previous day (that is, the REAL D-Day). Blowhard exaggerators such as Bill O'Reilly, Rush Limbaugh, and the Zanucks always are able to easily bamboozle the descendants of the Slave Masters with their false slants on History, because this target audience has suffered so many concussions playing football (including THE LONGEST DAY's headliner, John "Il Duce" Wayne himself). You can tell where the Zanucks' sympathies really lay during the 1900s by the fact that they invited Berlin Bertha (a.k.a., Hedda Hopper)--who, with Wayne, comprised America's First Couple of Fascism--to eulogize this film in its initial trailer. In Reality, these folks and their ilk HATED America's second greatest President (Franklin Roosevelt, of course) and loathed the U.S. Constitution, crying in their beer when they learned that their soul mate--Adolph Hitler--had shot himself to death.

What can you say in only 3:58?!
planktonrules7 March 2011
I am not 100% sure why they made this DVD extra--after all, it was only 3 minutes and 58 seconds! Considering that the movie "The Longest Day" was a HUGE movie with a HUGE cast, it's strange that a 'look back' film would be so short.

The film stars Richard Zanuck--the son of the famous producer/studio head who left this position to produce "The Longest Day". Richard himself also was a producer and studio head himself--assuming control of Twentieth-Century Fox when his dad began producing films again. Darryl apparently didn't take to this, however, and soon had his son removed from studio head--re-assuming this position a few years later! This is the stuff of soap operas--but none of it is alluded to at all--the film is all about Richard fondly remembering his father's project. Of course, considering it's less than 4 minutes...perhaps this is the reason for the film's brevity.

All in all, it's really too short to be of much interest and I'd recommend a documentary about Darryl Zanuck instead.
