Spielberg proud of Israeli endorsements for new film

Director Steven Spielberg said he is “very proud” of two early endorsements from the widows of two of the 11 Israeli athletes killed in the 1972 Olympic massacre detailed in his controversial new film, Munich.

Ilana Romano, widow of weightlifter Yosef Romano and Ankie Spitzer, who was married to the fencing coach Andre Spitzer, are the only Israelis to see the film in Israel before its official release late next month.
