4 NOTES about the PRODUCTION
EXODUS is Otto Preminger’s master- piece. A BIG picture from a big book, the epic reverberations of this film could mean an Academy Award. Mr. Preming- er says “The most exciting thing in the world is to thin\. When a producer shares a thought-provoking story with you, there is a sympatico - both of you enjoy and profit from a mutually shared experience.”
The struggle for freedom and the re- birth of a nation is a universal theme worth the millions spent shooting the picture entirely in Israel and Cyprus.
Paul Newman plays Ari Ben Canaan, the heroic leader of the Israeli resistance. Lovely Eva Marie Saint has the part of Kitty, the American nurse who arrives as a stranger and stays as a friend. Sir Ralph Richardson, one of Britain’s most distinguished actors, portrays General Sutherland, the sympathic British Gen- eral, who is moved by the plight of the Jews in the Cyprus refugee camps.
