dibick99 Review of Sword of Gideon

Sword of Gideon (1986 TV Movie)

enjoyed this picture immensely. saw 'munich' which pretty much follows 'sword of Gideon'

[9/10 · 5 January 2006]

i just recently viewed 'munich'. i knew that a picture was made which almost mirrored 'munich' but until i remembered that Michael york was a featured player i could not remember the name of the 'sword of Gideon'. i followed 'munich' pretty well since i knew in advance what was going to happen. the major difference, i thought, was that the organization that was supplying the locations of the terrorists to the Israeli team towards the end of 'sword' told them never to get in touch with them again. in 'munich' it seemed Israel's was paying them a tremendous amount of money and they didn't want to lose the income.i would suggest that the viewers see both pictures to compare. i wonder, though, if Spielberg knew about Gideon - or whether he thought his was the original
