Made for TV movie
This is a very good study of General Eisenhower and the lead up to D-day. Tom Selleck, as usual does a very good job portraying Ike. They can control many things, even creating a fake army in an effort to fool the Germans. However they cannot control the weather, which is very threatening. If it doesn't cooperate they have to wait another month for the tide to be right, and their decoy army may be exposed. A good look at the politics of war. I really liked the way that problems with Patton (Gerald McRaney) were handled. He had spoken out about Russia, an ally, and was censored as a result. The interaction between he and Ike was classic. He was assigned to the pseudo army but only later would get back into the fighting.
