An excellent depiction of the difficulties of the rebirth of Israel as a nation
This is an excellent movie depicting a four month period from February thru May 1948. This was the time of preparation for announcing to the world the rebirth of Israel as a nation. it is very good depiction of the events and is accurate except for the relationship between the Colonel and his secretary. It is a great movie about overcoming obstacles.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Cast a Giant Shadow. The birth of Israel.
Very well done film. The actors all did a very credible job portraying the individuals they played. Especially Luther Adler as Ben Gurion. Historical scenes of 1947 appeared to be accurate. Well worth having.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Movie based on events of the "Six day war"...
I saw bits of this movie years ago. I remember it being so good that I had to see it again but from the beginning. This movie does not disappoint! Based on real life events in Israel over 40 years ago. Incredible story!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Oldie but a goodie
Read the book this was based on back in the 1960s, but never saw the movie made at the same time. Now I have seen it and it was worth the wait. It is a good, true story not too gussied up by Hollywood. A good performance by Kirk Douglas.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

A Pretty Good film.
I saw this movie on TV, when I was young. It was enjoyable seeing it again. It should go hand-in-hand with EXODUS, about the birth of the state of Israel, and the peoples determination to make it work and make it stay in Palestine.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
