It's only short, this, but even at just seventy-five minutes the whole rather dry and stage-bound affair seems to drag! "Ahab" (Eduard Franz) is faithfully following the advice of "Elijah" (John Hoyt) and ruling his kingdom of Israel much as King Solomon might have done. Then, a bit like that King, he falls under the spell of a woman - and a toxic, scheming one at that. "Jezebel" (Paulette Goddard) is a pagan, and rather than allowing him to convert her, she sets out to ensnare him in her multi-theistic culture. As you might expect, fairly swiftly the chagrin really hits the fan! It's one of the more seedy and salacious bible stories, this - but a combination of censors and a poor screenplay really do render this quite dull to watch. Goddard is way off her best and the remainder of the cast (except the camels, perhaps) are equally unremarkable as this legendary Old Testament story is reduced to something distinctly pedestrian. Pity, it could have been much more intriguing and engaging - but as it is, I don't know that I will I bother watching it again.
Through riveting and moving personal recollections of both Palestinians and Israelis, 1948: Creation & Catastrophe reveals the shocking events of the most pivotal year in the most controversial conflict in the world. It tells the story of the establishment of Israel as seen through the eyes of the people who lived it. But rather than being a history lesson, this documentary is a primer for the present. It is simply not possible to make sense of what is happening today without an understanding of 1948. This documentary was the last chance for many of its Israeli and Palestinian characters to narrate their first-hand accounts of the creation of a state and the expulsion of a nation. Hear stories from the Israelis and Palestinians who personally lived through events in Haifa, Jaffa, Dayr Yasin, Acre, Jerusalem, Ramla, Lydda and more. These shocking and dramatic events reveal the core of what drives the conflict today.
