“Cast A Giant Shadow” is a good movie, yes.

That’s a big positive about not having a home NFL team: you can watch good movies/TV shows. :)

Re: “Cast A Giant Shadow” is a good movie

Yes, it is an okay film but does not do true justice of the true life character played by Kirk Douglas, David Daniel “Mickey” Marcus.

From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mickey_Marcus:

Ben-Gurion was suspicious of the initial report that Marcus had been shot accidentally. The Haganah was composed of several factions whose lack of consensus over strategy and tactics was one of the reasons for Marcus's appointment as commander for Jerusalem, and Ben-Gurion suspected that elements in the Palmach may have conspired to kill Marcus so he would be replaced. On the same day Marcus was shot, Ben-Gurion summoned Yaakov Shimshon Shapira—later Israel's Attorney General—and asked him to investigate the incident. Shapira’s investigation was cursory. Despite conflicting reports concerning the number of shots fired, how many wounds Marcus suffered, whether the fatal wound could have been caused by Linski’s rifle, and how and why Marcus may have been outside the monastery, he concluded that Linski shot Marcus in the line of duty. The report has never been made public.

His is the only grave in the West Point Cemetery at the United States Military Academy for an American killed fighting under the flag of another country. His gravestone at West Point reads: “Colonel David Marcus—a Soldier for All Humanity”.

David Daniel “Mickey” Marcus was truly a very great man--
