Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Based on Uris's own libel trial after 'Exodus' — he sued a real doctor who claimed the Josef Mengele-esque character was him. Life imitates art imitates life.
Shot on location at the actual Queen's Bench Division VII courtroom — the first television production granted this access. The wood-paneled weight is real.
