| Synopsis | Part fact, part fiction, Cast a Giant Shadow powerfully dramatises Israels heroic 1947-48 struggle for independance. Both realistic war story and passionate romance, the film centres on the legendary David Mickey Marcus, whose motto was Life isnt a spectator sport - youve just got to get involved. Kirk Douglas gives a strong, compassionate performance as Marcus, an American Jew and World War II hero who got involved by becoming a volunteer military advisor to the new state of Israel and the countrys first general in 2000 years. The outstanding cast includes Angie Dickinson and Senta Berger as the women in his life; Yul Brynner as an initially sceptical Israeli officer, and Luther Adler, who exudes dignity and authority in his thinly disguised portrayal of the statesman Ben-Gurion. In significant cameo roles, John Wayne and Frank Sinatra score as a crusty American general and a happy-go-lucky pilot. With its off-hand humour and careful attention to military strategy, Cast a Giant Shadow gives us an absorbing and exciting look at an important moment in our worlds history. | |
