War! Huh. Good god, y'all, what is it good for? In 1962, the answer is two surprisingly good movies. First, the Academy Award goes to Lawrence of Arabia, featuring stunning cinematography, deadly deserts, amazing breakout performances from Peter O'Toole and Omar Sharif, and some DEEPLY uncomfortable casting choices for Arab leadership. But by a narrow margin, the box office crown goes to The Longest Day, an impressively thorough and nuanced examination of the D-Day invasion of Normandy with a handful of big name actors and a smaller handful of characters Erin, Claire, and Dan could keep straight. Two movies, two wars, seven hours of total runtime, lots to unpack, so grab your camel and your parachute and strap in.Find all of our episodes and the rest of Writing Therapy Productions' various entertainments at www.writingtherapyproductions.com
