Beautiful location shots and lots of suspense as the Strasberg character runs for her life. He wasn't feeling well, the location town was a little too primitive for his tastes, and he got into a huge fight with the director, Thomas, at one point. Bogarde made this film for Betty Box and Ralph Thomas of the Rank 'Doctor' franchise, and it was apparently an unpleasant experience.

While staying at the home of a family friend, Strasberg sees someone that she's not supposed to, and the guerrillas decide that she has to die before she tells a frequent visitor to the house, Major McGuire (Bogarde) what she's seen. The stars are Dirk Bogarde, George Chakiris and Denholm Elliot. The screenplay was written by Charles Lederer, who also wrote the original Ocean's Eleven and the Marlon Brando version of Mutiny on the Bounty.'The High Bright Sun' is a 1964 film about an American girl (Susan Strasberg) caught in the Cypriot fight against the British in the '50s.

In 1962, the book was adapted into a movie starring Elvis Presley. Most observers expected Powell to follow up with a similar book, but instead he wanted something different and wrote a comedy. The book spent 6 months on the best-seller charts. Powell's previous novel was The Philadelphian, a serious novel about four-generations of a Philadelphia family as they navigate the city's complex social ladder. Eventually, the state granted property titles to the squatters. A group of squatters moved onto the land, building shacks and starting small businesses, as in the novel.

The fill used to build the bridge inadvertently created a tract of land that did not exist on maps but now is known as Matlacha. Powell learned that the state of Florida had just built a bridge to Pine Island. After World War II, Powell moved to Fort Myers, Florida. They may also find it a study of the classic pioneering spirit and of its chances of survival in America today.' Inspiration 'It's possible that some readers may see woven into this comedy the theme of Little Man versus Big Government. Of the novel's satire, in the first edition of the novel the publisher writes: The family also contends with meddling social workers, their own poverty, a hurricane, and a group of gangsters that tries to squat on nearby land to run an illegal casino. The novel revolves around the family's comical battles with the government, as they establish their lives on the untitled land and are eventually joined by other pioneers. Pop learns of old homesteading statutes in the state and determines that he has a legal right to occupy the land. When confronted by state officials and treated poorly Pop Kwimper decides that the family will settle on the side of the highway permanently. The Kwimper clan consists of Pop Kwimper who has lived his entire life off government welfare programs such as unemployment compensation and Aid to Families with Dependent Children, his happy-go-lucky son Toby Kwimper (whose 'Strength is as the strength of ten because his heart is pure'), adopted identical twins Eddy and Teddy that nobody can tell apart (and whose parents 'tried to beat a train to a crossing and only came out tied'), and the family babysitter Holly Jones. While waiting for assistance to arrive they set up shacks on the side of the road. Somewhere along the way, the Kwimpers had made a wrong turn and ended up on an unfinished highway. The Kwimper family of Cranberry County, New Jersey is on a vacation in Columbiana when their car runs out of gas. In 2009 a 50th anniversary edition of Pioneer, Go Home! was released and includes a previously unpublished preface by the author.
