Movie Haiku:Terrible Hollywood biopic about the birth of the State of Israel, that’s actually OK if you ignore the stupid “love triangle” & focus on the politics. Douglas stars as an American soldier compelled to reaffirm his Jewish identity at the end of WWII. Cameos: John Wayne, Frank Sinatra & Topol!
