The DNC's behavior concerning Israel on their platform last week gave me the idea for this week's feature. There was actually a time when Hollywood and liberals supported the Israel. Otto Preminger's 1960 epic based upon Leon Uris' novel about the founding of the Israeli state is evidence of this. This movie was considered left wing when it was new but it'd never be made in today's Hollywood where it would probably be condemned as "right wing propaganda".

Ernest Gold's score is haunting and 15 year-old Jill Haworth is very appealing in her film debut as Karen, "child of light". It was also shot entirely on location in Israel and Cyprus when the events it depicts were a relatively recent memory.

Thanks. Wonderful movie of a Biblically prophetic miracle before the eyes of the world in 1948...

Exodus is one of my favorite movies. Paul Newman died recently, and I just bought the DVD Exodus to watch it again, and read the book. It is a great movie

[YHAOS]

Exodus is a movie that Hollywood pukes would not have the nerve to produce today. It would take an outlaw independent to make the movie (like maybe Clint Eastwood).

“Cast a Giant Shadow” (1966) was another movie from the era when Hollywood supported Israel.

Jill Haworth went on to originate the part of Sally Bowles in the Broadway musical Cabaret. Liza Minnelli did the film version.

Not so sure it’s a movie for THIS Sunday afternoon. The movie soft-pedals the book in many ways, and the book itself was pretty sympathetic. The truth, as the Brits well know, is a bit different.
