Cast a Giant Shadow

Part fact, part fiction, Cast a Giant
Shadow powerfully dramatizes Israel's
heroic 1947-48 struggle for
independence. Both realistic war story
and passionate romance, it features an
all-star cast including Kirk Douglas,
Senta Berger and Angie Dickinson, as
well as Yul Brynner, John Wayne and
Frank Sinatra in notable supporting
roles. After a brilliant career in the U.S.
army, WWII hero and Jewish American
Mickey Marcus (Douglas) is called to the
new state of Israel to build an army
capable of withstanding its Arab foes.
Against the wishes of his wife
(Dickinson), Mickey makes the journey
and begins transforming a ragtag
underground army into a first-class
fighting machine. But as the threat of war
looms, Mickey must also confront his
growing attraction to beautiful activist
Magda Simon (Berger).
