British UK Quad poster for "The Longest Day" (1962). A huge star-studded cast was assembled for the film about the D-Day invasion, including John Wayne, Richard Burton and Sean Connery. This is the first re-release poster which duplicated the exact same design as the 1962 issue but now included Gert Frobe's name in the line-up (Frobe coming to prominence after his co-starring role in "Goldfinger" in 1964) and correctly listing John Wayne as the last name in the cast credits. It was a condition of Wayne's contract that he was to be listed first or last in a film he starred in.
