Cast a Giant Shadow (1965)
Director: Melville Shavelson
Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
Another spectacular in the wake of Exodus about the founding of Israel. A highly romanticised fiction about Colonel Mickey Marcus, real-life hero of the Arab-Israeli war, it's riddled with clichés and more than a bit silly, but efficiently staged.Author: TM
