Movie Info

Cast a Giant Shadow is a big-budget, glossy action/adventure story set at the time that Israel became a nation. American Army officer Colonel David Marcus is recruited by the yet-to-exist Israel to help form an army. Marcus is conflicted because of his sudden appreciation for his Jewish heritage. Realizing that each of Israel's Arab nations has vowed to invade the poorly prepared country once the partition has been made, Marcus is made commander of the Israeli forces just before the war begins.

Kirk Douglas is fine as legendary Israeli leader. Nice guest stars (John Wayne, etc.).

The results add up to a superficial biopic that casts anything but a giant shadow.

Audience Reviews for Cast a Giant Shadow

Jeez, I didn't think it was ever going to end! Way overlong and far too many repetitive scenes and slow stretches. Kirk Douglas gives a sincere performance, and the basic story is an interesting one. Senta berger is miscast and the spattering of big name stars in cameo roles distracts from the film. (John Wayne, Frank Sinatra, Yul Brynner etc.)
