Part fact, part fiction, "Cast a Giant Shadow" powerfully dramatizes Israel's heroic 1947-1848 struggle for independence. Both realistic war story and passionate romance, it features an all-star cast including Kirk Douglas ("Paths of Glory"), Senta Berger ("The Glory Guys") and Angie Dickinson ("Dressed to Kill"), as well as Yul Brynner ("The Magnificent Seven"), John Wayne ("The Alamo") and Frank Sinatra ("The Manchurian Candidate") 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). Directed by Melville Shavelson ("Mixed Company").
