Bodie Thoene: As a young writer with John Waynes Batjac - TopicsExpress



          

Bodie Thoene: As a young writer with John Waynes Batjac Productions, I was blessed to work with writer/director Mel Shavelson. What a formative time that was for me as a writer! Mel wrote Cast A Giant Shadow, the story of Israels war of Independance in 1948. Duke and Batjac produced the movie. In case you didnt know, John Wayne was pro-Israel to his core. In this scene, he plays a tough American General who challenges Mickey Marcus to help establish the nation of Israel against all opposition. Every once in a while I watch it again and I am amazed at how little has changed since Israels rebirth in 1948. Time for us all to replay and remember!
