D-Day the Sixth of June (1956): Cast, Box Office & Plot

A few hours before D-Day, a tight, multinational commando team known as Special Force Six braces for a dangerous mission: to destroy a heavily fortified German coastal gun emplacement along the rugged Normandy coast. As the landing ship carries them toward the target, the ship’s uneasy tension is punctuated by a personal reckoning between two officers. On the eve of the assault, the English commander, Lt. Col. John Wynter, Richard Todd, and his American subordinate, Captain Brad Parker, Robert Taylor, find themselves wrestling with a shared, complicated love for Valerie Russell, Dana Wynter. Valerie is the daughter of Brigadier Russell, John Williams, a blunt, battle-scarred veteran who bears the memory of Dunkirk.
