The Blessing of Mount Gilboa (film #13 in the Rural Settlement and Security section of the State of Israel section of Stephen Spielberg Jewish Film Archive). [Category: Sleaze & Outsider]

Early 60s film, narrated in Spanish, documenting the rural development of Mount Gilboa in Isarel. Another plot of desolate Israeli land is made to flower. This has some historical interest, but it’s pretty ordinary.

Ratings: Camp/Humor Value: *. Weirdness: *. Historical Interest: ***. Overall Rating: **.
