Drive by Karaolos on your tour.

Ring me if there's anything I can do

to make your stay more comfortable.

I will.

I'm very fond of the old man. One of the best.

Makes it all the more difficult

to explain his little quirk.

Quirk?

About the Jews.

You caught it all right. I was watching.

Almost makes one believe the story

one hears now and then.

Probably nonsense, but still...

What story?

That if you gave a good shake to his family tree,

you'd find a Jew up there.

Please tell Gen. Sutherland

I've changed my mind.

loll be happy to work at Karaolos for a few days.

- Goodbye, Major.

- Goodbye.

- Do you need any help?

- No, thanks.

- Good night, then.

- Good night, and thanks for stopping.

Ari! Ari Ben Canaan!

- Reuben. How are you?

- Fine.

The car's up there.

Good. We'll go directly to Mandria.

We can't, Ari.

He's on the other side of the island.

- He won't be back until tomorrow.

- He should be on this side of the island.

British checkpoint, Jewish checkpoint.

We don't allow our military personnel

in the camp area...

...unless something extraordinary occurs.

We handle the outside. The inside's up to them.

- Lieutenant, this is Katherine Fremont.

- How do you do, Mrs. Fremont?

American. Authority Gen. Sutherland.

Pass her at all times.

- Very good, sir.

- Thank you.

These Zionist organizations,

or whatever they call them...

...send their own people over from Palestine

to administer these camps.

Jews seem to respond better to their own kind.

Perhaps we all do.

We even give them the privilege

of approving all Gentile personnel.

- I hope you don't mind.

- Not at all.

- Good morning, Ben Ami.

- Good morning, sir.

This is Mrs. Fremont,

an American friend of Gen. Sutherland.

- How do you do?

- How do you do?

Ben Ami is one of the Palestinians

who run this camp.

Mrs. Fremont has a few days to while away

in Cyprus, and being an experienced nurse...

...the general thought you may find

her assistance valuable.

We find all assistance of value, Maj. Caldwell.

- Would you show him your passport?

- Of course.

Any friend of Gen. Sutherland's

is always welcome.

Convey my respects to the general,

and thank him for us.

Of course. Goodbye. Good luck.

- Call us if you need us.

- Thank you.

- Would you care to come with me?

- Surely.

Yesterday's shipload

will double our hospital capacity.

It's very good of you to help us get organized.

- Leave me alone.

- You're burning up with fever.

If you don't let us clean out the infection

you'll die, that's all.

After coming so far,

you'll die without ever having seen Eretz Israel.

loll see Palestine before you. Now leave me alone.

Dalton Trumbo

James Dalton Trumbo (December 9, 1905 – September 10, 1976) was an American screenwriter and novelist who scripted many award-winning films including Roman Holiday, Exodus, Spartacus, and Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo. One of the Hollywood Ten, he refused to testify before the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC) in 1947 during the committee's investigation of communist influences in the motion picture industry. He, along with the other members of the Hollywood Ten and hundreds of other industry professionals, was subsequently blacklisted by that industry. His talents as one of the top screenwriters allowed him to continue working clandestinely, producing work under other authors' names or pseudonyms. His uncredited work won two Academy Awards: for Roman Holiday (1953), which was given to a front writer, and for The Brave One (1956) which was awarded to a pseudonym of Trumbo's. When he was given public screen credit for both Exodus and Spartacus in 1960, this marked the beginning of the end of the Hollywood Blacklist for Trumbo and other screenwriters. He finally was given full credit by the Writers' Guild for all his achievements, the work of which encompassed six decades of screenwriting. more…
