Cast a Giant Shadow
Part fact, part fiction, Cast a
Giant Shadow powerfully
dramatizes Israel's heroic
1947-48 struggle for
independence. Both realistic
war story and passionate
romance, it features an allstar cast, including Kirk
Douglas, Senta Berger and
Angie Dickinson, as well as Yul
Brynner, John Wayne and
Frank Sinatra in notable
supporting roles.
Mirisch Corp., 1966, 138 min

Keeping Up With the
Steins
In tony Brentwood, Benjamin
Fiedler prepares for his bar
mitzvah. Trouble is, he
understands neither its
meaning nor the Hebrew, and
his parents (particularly his
successful-agent father) are
planning the most lavish party
possible. Benjamin wants his
dad to give him some space,
so he gets an idea: to invite
his grandfather, who left the
family years ago and for
whom Benjamin’s dad has an
intense dislike, to come two
weeks early. Thanks in part
to Grandpa, and to the
immediate family’s love,
Benjamin may have a shot at
figuring out what it means to
be a man.
Miramax, 2006, 90 min.

Fiddler On The Roof
At the beginning of the 20th
Century, there is a little village
of Anatevka in the prerevolutionary Russia of the
Czars. It is a tradition in the
community that the
matchmaker arranges the
marriage and the father
approves it. The milkman,
Tevye (Topol), is a poor man,
married twenty-five years to
Golde (Norma Crane) and they
have five daughters. Tevye
attempts to maintain his
family and Jewish traditions
while outside influences
encroach upon their lives. He
must cope with both the
strong-willed actions of his
three oldest daughters (as
each one’s choice of husband
moves her farther away from
the customs of his faith) and
with the edict of the Czar, that
evicts the Jews from their
village.
MGM, 1971, 181 min.
