On Movies Made in 'Akka: Not just Exodus
From: Northwest BahaiLibrary
Most have seen the movie by Otto Preminger, "Exodus", starring Paul
Newman, which was filmed in 'Akka, Israel in 1960.
Trailer: However, that is not the only movie filmed in 'Akka.
A 1990 movie "A Man Called Sarge" also was filmed there.
Low budget and described as a "wacky comedy," the film, of which there is a clip or two on YouTube, is almost painful for me to watch -- or at least the scenes filmed in the Caravansari and the Citadel are, given the holy significance for Baha'is of these locations. -gw
