Re: the long days dying
I read the paperback from a church jumble sale years ago.
Wasn't it about some Royal Marine Commandoes out on patrol in Normandy?
I remember the story teller mentioned he was wearing silk womens underwear as it felt nice, apart from that I've never heard it was a film.
Info on film
The Long Day's Dying (1968)

Re: the long days dying
I rather like the film and if it were available on DVD or video would buy it. For some reason, it hardly ever gets shown on UK TV - I must have last seen it about 15 years ago.
It is certainly not an 'epic' movie - it is small-scale, and could almost be based on a stage-play ( I think that there are only about four or five characters in the film ). It's not so much an 'action' movie as a study of the characters differing motivations and attitudes to war. David Hemmings and Tom Bell give excellent performances and I remember being disappointed by the final scene which seemed to me too overblown and overtly 'anti-war'.
I wouldn't go so far as to call it a classic, but it's most certainly woefully overlooked and if you get a chance to see it - then do so.....
