Customer Reviews of D-Day Sixth Day of June
Three handkerchief weepie You've got to feel a little sad for Dana in this one. Her American lover went home to his wife; her English lover trod on a bomb; and her father shot himself. Well, that's life I guess. There is some interest, but not a lot, in trying to figure out along the way how the story is going to get wrapped up. On the marginally plus side, it seems a fairly accurate depiction of how the war panned out for some women in Britain; and it captures something of the atmosphere on the home front. Not much about the action on the other front. I suppose most of the audience were pleased it hadn't happened to them.
A very much misunderstood romance but a wonderful movie!
I read many of the other reviews and I understand many thought the name is misleading and maybe is somewhat so, but that doesn't detract from the spectacular performances by Robert Taylor and Dana Wynter. What's so amazing is they capture perfectly and insightfully portray what it was like to experience the fear and lonliness many experienced in World War II. In all their emotional complexities of being away from home and family (Robert Taylor) or that of a loved one being off to war (Dana Wynters), these two heroes begin by finding comfort in their friendship. As time progresses and the pain of war begins taking it's toll on them, they find solace in each others arms. This romance is worthy of the classic movies like Casablanca and From here to Eternity where the same dilemma plagued Ingrid Bergman
Drivel
Yes, the title "D-Day the Sixth of June" is irritatingly misleading. This movie spends most of its time chronicling the tawdry tale of a married U.S. military officer who has an affair with a British USO-type woman who is engaged to be married to a courageous British officer. The battle scenes are sporadic, and the story creaks along slowly. The handsome Robert Taylor and the beautiful Dana Wynter are basically wasted because their roles are so unsympathetic. The characters that they portray have few qualms about cheating on their loved ones.
The movie also is not helped by a repetitious, sappy musical score that includes the sentimental song "You'll Never Know (How Much I Love You)" which accompanies the illicit lovers as they unapologetically indulge in their affair.
"D-Day the Sixth of June" is strictly for diehard fans of Taylor or Wynter. And perhaps not even those fans will be able to swallow this drivel.
