		The longest day, also called the summer solstice, falls on June 21 this year.
		The word solstice is from Latin words meaning "the Sun" and "to stop," because early observers thought that the Sun appeared to stop dead, then turn around, in its seasonal movement north and south along the horizon at sunrise and sunset.
		In the northern hemisphere, the Sun is higher in the sky throughout the day and its rays strike Earth at a more direct angle, causing the efficient warming we call summer.

		I was beginning to lose hope when nobody pulled out over the last two days but I had to cling to some belief I might still make it at the last minute.
		It's been a really difficult day because I might have been called to play at five minutes' notice so I wasn't able to move that far from the first tee.
		I spent the whole day getting more and more disappointed but still had to think, at any time, it could all have changed into the most unbelievable day of my life.

	What Books: The Longest Day [1962]
		"The Longest Day" was the most expensive fl & white film ever made until "Schindler's List" in 1993 and in both instances not using color works; after all, our "memory" of World War II is based on fl & white images.
		The DVD has some solid extras, with "Hollywood Backstory: The Longest Day" providing a 25-minute documentary on the making of the film, focusing primarily on Zanuck and a 50-minute documentary on "D-Day Revisited," while offers the rather strange sight of Zanuck telling strangers about D-Day and providing historical commentary mixed with clips from the film.
		Certainly "The Longest Day" is one of the best World War II films, even if now have to talk about it as representing the old school of that genre.

		The "Longest Day of the Year," June 21, falls on a Friday this year, perfect for an early evening celebration to start your weekend or if you like, plan it for the weekend on the longest Saturday or Sunday of the year.
		We also enjoyed iced "sun tea," which makes best use of the sun on the longest day of the year, and a frosted yellow cake.

		A true classic of World War II history, The Longest Day tells the story of the massive Allied invasion of Normandy on June 6, 1944.
		Ryan was enormously skillful at weaving small personal stories into the overall narrative, and he would later use the same technique to depict the airborne invasion of Holland in A Bridge Too Far.
		Not only is The Longest Day a pleasure to read, but subsequent historians, dutifully noting its accuracy, have relied heavily on Ryan's research for their own accounts.

		From the German high command and front line officers to the French Resistance and all the key Allied participants, the screenplay by Cornelius Ryan, based on his own authoritative book, is as factually accurate a depiction of events as possible.
		The Longest Day is a trully excellent account of all aspects of the D-day invasions, from all sides, the Allies, French resistance and the Germans, all depicted without the bias encountered in similar films.
		Never-the-less there are really great performances all round in The longest Day and a good script, with that great line uttered by Richard burton's harsh voice, "This is what war is. He's dead, you're lost, and I'm crippled" (I'm probably slightly miss-quoting).
