- Looks like "Exodus" (1960) a film by Otto Preminger based on the
- Leon Uris novel by the same name. This film stared Paul Newman,
- Eva Marie Saint (not Sophia Loren), Lee J. Cobb and Sal Mineo. It is
- quite long at 213 minutes but still quite interesting. It is also of
- historical interest ( to those who want to know how the current
- Israeli-Arab conflict has started). Eva Marie Saint also played the
- women double-agent in North by Northwest (1959).
