What's left behind the scenes

  • The film is based on the novel of the same name by Leon Uris.
  • Sal Mineo and Jill Havorth, whose characters were in love in the plot, continued to date after filming ended. However, Sal Mineo was gay, and he and Jill remained just good friends.
  • The film's length became the subject of a pun. On December 15, 1960, at the US premiere of the film, comedian Mort Sahl exclaimed, "Otto, let my people go!" alluding to the audience's fatigue and the famous biblical phrase spoken by the main character in the film.
  • A number of events and figures depicted in the film actually existed, and the film's characters had historical prototypes. In particular, the first part of the film is based on the real story of the ship "Exodus." In 1947, a mass escape of prisoners from the Acre prison actually took place. Irgun militants actually blew up the King David Hotel, which housed the British headquarters. Akiva was based on the leader of Irgun and future Prime Minister of Israel, Menachem Begin.
  • Karen tells Dov about how King Christian of Denmark publicly wore a yellow star in solidarity with Danish Jews during the Nazi occupation, repeating this urban legend from the original novel. In reality, neither King Christian nor Danish Jews wore yellow stars.
  • The drawn-out plot became the basis for a pun. On December 15, 1960, at the film's premiere in the United States, comedian Mort Sahl exclaimed, "Otto, let my people go!" alluding to the audience's fatigue and the famous biblical phrase uttered by the protagonist in the film.
