Note that Jeff Chandler was Jewish and had been born Ira Grossel. He never hid his Jewish heritage, and he was very proud to appear in this movie, and it was the only character he ever played who was explicitly Jewish (he played one of the refugees).

THE HIGH BIDDER ON THIS LOT WILL RECEIVE 16 STILLS FROM THIS MOVIE, and NOT just the four pictured! We realize there is an element of gambling to this, but we made no effort to find the best four stills in the lot, and, if you have any willingness to gamble at all, you may find that you get some great stills that were not pictured! Please do NOT bid on this lot unless you can accept that you are only seeing four of the stills. Note that on our larger lots of black and white stills (ones with nine or more in the lot), there are a small number of lots where there may be one or several duplicated stills in the stills not pictured (we only picture four of the stills on most of the black and white lots). We tried to note when some of the stills not pictured were duplicates to the ones that were pictured, but we may not have caught that every time, so please do not bid on the lots of nine or more stills unless you can accept the possibility that there may be some duplicated stills contained in the lot. Condition: very good. Learn More about condition grades
