United Artists 1966
This Elmer Bernstein score from 1966 is a rarity of the scores has led to it largely having been lost in the shadows of such famous scores from the period as The Magnificent Seven, The Great Escape and To Kill A Mockingbird. In spite of this, Cast A Giant Shadow is, without question, one of the composer's absolute classics. The stellar cast included Kirk Douglas, John Wayne, Frank Sinatra, and Yul Brenner! Cast A Giant Shadow is certainly one of Bernstein's most epic, featuring one of his most beautiful love themes and some of his most thrilling action music that is considered to be one of the finest scores by one of film music's greatest masters.
