As one legend playing another, Ingrid Bergman gives a shattering portrayal of Golda Meir, the first female prime minister of Israel. In fact, the film is shot through with drama, both onscreen and off, as the viewer is reminded that this fearless performance, for which Bergman won an Emmy, was her last; she died just three months after the film was aired in 1982. The biography of Meir is well known, and well told here: The daughter of Ukrainian refugees, she grew up in Milwaukee, and became involved in Zionist politics at an early age. She and her husband moved to a kibbutz in Palestine in the '20s--and there she focused her life on helping to establish a Jewish homeland in Israel. The supporting cast is splendid, with Judy Davis playing the young idealist Golda, and Leonard Nimoy, never better, playing Golda's politically active, and always supportive, husband. But the film belongs to Bergman, who so completely inhabits the look and mannerisms of Meir that she seems to fit comfortably inside Meir's skin. Gone is any trace of the glamorous movie star--but in its place is something even more compelling, and ultimately more beautiful: a performance haunting, powerful, and unquestionably inspirational. --A.T.

I have this TV-movie on a selfmade, old VHS-tape, which is very worn.
I love the movie - I love Ingrid Bergman, but also Judy Davis (the young Golda). This DVD has been a long time coming - but since English is not my first language it would be very useful to know: Does it come with English sutitles?

Ingrid Bergman does a wonderful job, as does Judy Davis, at playing the Iron Lady Golda Meir (before Thatcher, there was Golda). Golda Meir's life traced itself from the Russian Empire to the American Jewish Diaspora to the formation of Israel and through the pivotal times of war and peace.
Originally run as a television mini-series, this film shows her childhood, life on a kibbutz, early days in Israel, and times as Foreign Minister and Prime Minister in good detail, both personal ... Read More

"A Woman Called Golda"
Bergman Shines as Golda
On DVD for the First Time
Amos Lassen
I first watched "A Woman Named Golda" when I lived in Israel in 1982. At that time people either loved her hated her. She had been vilified as a the person who was responsible for the Yom Kippur War in 1973 and in her latter years her popularity was at all time low.
Personally I loved Golda. When I lived in Tel Aviv in the early 1970's Golda had an apartment ... Read More

This film is a masetwork. A minseries that is factually acurate and driven by a potent cast. Ingrid bergman in perhaps her finest role plays Golda Meir, the mother of Israel. Leonard Nemoy plays her husband who eventually divorces her as she rises to power. The fim covers Golda's rise thorugh Israeli politics from the days of its birth through the peace deals made with egypt. A wonderful supporting cast is flawless. If you want to learn about history, be entertained and watch one of the great actresses ... Read More
