Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

In 1957 I was billeted at Karaolas Camp.Famagusta. In the film they pronounced it as " Karry-ay-loss", we and the locals called it "Karralass"

An excellent film, well acted, and trying largely successfully to explain the mess Britain found itself in after Word War 2 having made conflicting promises to the Jewish leaders and Arab leaders, to basically survive two world wars, and then the mandate that left UK stuck with trying to solve the problem. Of course, nowadays the Left with its revisionist view of the past hates this film and would hate it no matter how good it was on every level so there is no need to review certain reviews on here or elsewhere.

A classic in every since of the word. The best selling novel by Leon Uris is adapted for the silver screen by the fabled producer/director Otto Preminger. A lumbering 3 1/2 hours concerning the early days of Israel with actual history debatable. Paul Newman plays Ari Ben Canaan, the leader of the Jewish underground, who exhausts mortal energy in efforts to lead over six hundred holocaust survivors to the Holy Land. Exiled Jews board a sea vessel called Exodus that must deal with a British government blockade. Ari is determined to get the refugees to Palestine rather than be returned to war-ravaged Germany. The underground will help shape an independent nation in 1947. A cast of thousands featuring: Eva Marie Saint, Ralph Richardson, Lee J. Cobb, Sal Mineo, Jill Haworth, David Opatoshu, Hugh Griffith and Peter Lawford.

In my humble opinion, this wonderful directorial effort by Otto Preminger is left without an ending. With Leon Uris' novel as the backdrop, and my own mother's history as an inspiration, the movie leaves you flat.After all of the struggle to return the Jews to Palestine, after all of the drama of death and destruction and politics, we are left with a story that ends short of the finish line. The kibbutz are under siege and the death of Karen (Jill Haworth's character)leave us with a conviction for Dov Landau, Ms. Fremont and Ari Ben Canaan to go forward to commit Israel to the freedom it now enjoys.Of course, in 1960, it was premature to predict or film a story that would end in a free and liberated Israel. So it is not so much the story with which one must take umbrage but the time in which it was filmed.Eva Marie Saint, Ralph Richardson and Lee J Cobb are brilliant in the film while Paul Newman, Peter Lawford and Sal Mineo offer eye candy for the women of the day.The story must fall short due to its timing not its inclination but all in all, a story that must be finished to be important. Time for an Exdous2?
