Kirk Douglas stars as a survivor of the Holocaust in this chilling drama, produced by Stanley Kramer (On The Beach) and directed by Edward Dmytryk (The Caine Mutiny).

A once-famous juggler who survived after losing his family in the Nazi death camps, Hans Muller is just one of the thousands of refugees who have come to Israel following World War II. There, he falls in love with Ya’El, a young farmworker who’s committed to helping get the new Jewish state on its feet.

The first US picture to be filmed in Israel, this is “a fast and fascinating journey through modern Israel, in addition to an intriguing and often touching study of a man” (New York Times).
