Welcome to Free Movie Monday. Today’s movie is Cast a Giant Shadow, staring Kirk Douglas, Angie Dickinson, Frank Sinatra, Yul Brynner and John Wayne. This war movie is based on the true story of Israel’s struggle for independence, lead by the first Israeli General, David Daniel “Mickey” Marcus, who was a United States Army colonel before joining the Arab-Israeli War.
Family friendly content warning: In addition to the parents guide on the Internet Movie Database, there are a couple of close ups on a belly dancer, a woman unties one of her straps and reveals cleavage before she falls to sleep from exhaustion, there is a moderate amount of war scenes, bomb explosions, machine guns, showing the injured from the war, etc. The rest of the description at IMBD is accurate.
