...Americans were known to have joined the fighting-or were needed-but at least one, the Rev. Vendyl Jones of Sudan, Texas, lent civilian support. Wandering near the Jordan border from a kibbutz where he had been working, the Baptist minister started talking to the Israeli commander, who soon discovered that the Rev.

...Lawrence Durrell, it is set in Palestine in 1948, just before the departure of the British gives the go sign to encircling Arab armies. A tireless sound track thumps music to feel humane by (folk themes, mostly), and Director Daniel Mann brings on the folks: Peter Finch, whose kibbutz is a hotbed of nationalist fervor; Jack Hawkins, as a British major who enforces the rules with leathery compassion; and a full quota of illegal immigrants who wade ashore and scoop up handfuls of soil...
