Saturday Night: JLTV to Air Exodus in Celebration
of Israel's Birthday
The theme of Exodus is the struggle for and establishment of the State of Israel. The action begins on a ship filled with Jewish immigrants bound for Israel who are being off-loaded on Cyprus. An intelligence officer, played by Paul Newman, succeeds in getting them back on board their ship only to have the harbor blocked by the British with whom they must negotiate. The second part of the film focuses on Israel's struggle for independence and subsequent battle with Arab neighbors at the outbreak of the 1948 war. The MGM epic film is introduced by the host of JLTV's Saturday Night at the Movies, Mike Burstyn. Exodus - celebrating it's 50th anniversary as a box-office smash - is airing tomorrow night, April 23rd at 8PM ET/PT.
