Christopher Columbus the explorer was Italian ( it just happened that the Spaniards financed his adventures) and in the 16th century Italy and Spain were fiercely catholic so I would doubt that he was Jewish. I don't know anything of the movie director. May 20 03, 5:52 AM

The name Christopher means 'Carrier of Christ'. It is a Christian name, so it is very unlikely that any Jew would have such a name, even as an adopted screen name. May 20 03, 2:58 PM
