Haganah fighters, including Ram Oren ([[Stathis Giallelis]]), use the [[Bren gun|Bren Mk1]], often mounted on jeeps. British soldiers use them, as do the Arab Legion infantry defending Latrun.
Cast a Giant Shadow is a 1966 war movie about the struggle for Israeli independence. It is based on the true story of David "Mickey" Marcus (Kirk Douglas), a Colonel in the United States Army and World War Two veteran, who agrees to act as an advisor for the Haganah during the 1948 War of Independence. Marcus, initially reluctant, becomes devoted to the cause as he confronts his attraction to a beautiful Jewish activist, Magda (Senta Berger).
The following weapons appear in the film Cast a Giant Shadow:
"Mickey" Marcus (Kirk Douglas) and General Randolph (John Wayne) carry the Colt M1911A1 during their service in World War Two. Marcus draws his briefly in one scene, but it is never seen in enough detail to screencap.
Major Safir (James Donald) carries an Enfield No.2. Although it is never used, the model can be confirmed by the shape of the holster. "Mickey" Marcus (Kirk Douglas) carries one during a raid on a Syrian depot.
"Mickey" Marcus (Kirk Douglas) and other paratroopers carry the M1928A1 Thompson during the D-Day jump. When going shopping on Christmas eve, Marcus admires a fake Thompson (looking very much like the real one, except for size).
Haganah fighters, including Ram Oren (Stathis Giallelis), use the Bren Mk1, often mounted on jeeps. British soldiers use them, as do the Arab Legion infantry defending Latrun.
