Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaSarah's and Victoria's family are Sephardic (or Sephardi or Separdim) Jews who because of the diaspora, lived in North Africa, Spain and Portugal around 1,000 AD. They spoke a language called Ladino, which is an amalgam of Spanish, Hebrew and Aramaic. The etymology of "Sephardic" is from a country mentioned in the book of Obadiah in the Hebrew Bible, and is believed to be representing Spain. The Sepharic were exiled from Spain by the Alhambra Decree of 1492.
- GoofsThe single seat aircraft David (Tom Hanks) lands in Egypt is a P51 Mustang. This was not used by the Desert Air Force as it was too new and needed for bomber support over Europe. It should have been a P40 Kittyhawk (US Tomahawk). It could have been a Spitfire late in 1942 perhaps.

Featured review
David (Tom Hanks) is an American who joined the British forces during World War II. He is sent to Palestine and finds a nice apartment with a doting landlady, although his time in the area may be brief. A close British comrade asks him to come and meet his fiancé at a local outdoor dance. The fiancé turns out to be part of Jerusalem's Jewish community and she has brought a lovely friend with her as well, named Sara. David and Sara each like what they see in the other but Sara is hesitant to get involved with a gentile and a Yankee at that. Besides, she's "sort-of" engaged. Nevertheless, through a series of meetings throughout the city, they grow closer at each tete-a-tete. Will Sara defy her family to realize her great love for David? This lovely story tells of a wartime romance made even more tenuous by a difference in faith. Hanks and his beautiful co-star, Marsilach, bring genuine pathos as well as humor to their roles. The setting is exotic and so is the costuming and Jewish customs and practices of the time. Do you like to smile through your tears when you sit down to experience a movie? This movie holds many treasures for you and your partner to discover.
