Иваново детство
Darryl F. Zanuck produced the 178 minute documentary drama "The Longest Day" (1962), based on the first day of the D-Day landings, achieving commercial success and Oscars. It was followed by large-scale but thoughtful films like Andrei Tarkovsky's "Ivan's Childhood" (1962), and quasi-documentary all-star epics filmed in Europe such as "Battle of the Bulge" (1965), "Battle of Britain" (1969), "The Battle of Neretva" (1969), "Midway" (1976) and "A Bridge Too Far" (1977). In Lawrence Suid's view, "The Longest Day" "served as the model for all subsequent combat spectaculars". However, its cost also made it the last of the traditional war films, while the controversy around the help given by the U.S. Army and Zanuck's "disregard for Pentagon relations" changed the way that Hollywood and the Army collaborated.
