No Time for Tears Doctors and nurses of a children's hospital confront the challenges of their profession. Directed by Cyril Frankel from Anne Burnaby's screenplay, with an all-star cast of fine British players, several from the great English classic era, this is a good, and good-looking children's "hospital procedural".
Basically plot less, the film's episodic story-telling follows the career of young novice nurse, Margaret, well played by the beautiful Sylvia Syms, as she tries to navigate the many trials and tribulations of her chosen, noble profession, in a somewhat idealized hospital setting all in color!
No Time for Tears
A romantic, but somewhat questionable, out-of-place plot element has young, inexperienced Syms unsuccessfully trying to snare handsome but confirmed bachelor doc, George Baker. The romance doesn't last long and is happily replaced by all the standard hospital dramas: The notable cast includes Anna Neagle, at 53, somewhat beyond her prime as perhaps England's most popular actress of the '30s into the '40s, but still beautiful, and wonderful as hospital matron, in one of the film's most moving scenes, as she rescues two children from an abusive mother.
Flora Robson, as Sister Birch, delivers the films finest moment as she firmly, yet gently admonishes young Syms who is falling apart at the near death of one of her charges. Robson gets our vote as one of Britain's ten greatest actresses. The always fine Anthony Quayle, who is the kind and gentle hospital head doctor, was teamed with Syms in a very different film of the same year, the superb, mature and intelligent, "Woman in a Dressing Gown". Michael Hordern portrays the curmudgeonly-but-kindhearted head surgeon, and a young Joan Hickson, who plays the fussy, brooking-no-nonsense yet, humorous Sister Duckworth is remembered as TV's Miss Marple.

The novel takes us through the trials and tribulations of the Jewish Yishuv community of the Land of Israel from the time of Ottoman rule, the heroic work of NILI Zionist network against the Turks during the First World War, and the Arabs pogroms against Jews starting in the 's, under the leadership of Mufti Haj Amin el Husseini, while the British armed the Arabs at the as same time preventing Jews from carrying arms of taking basic self-defence measures. Meanwhile the Nazis supported the cause of the Palestine Arabs putting out the canard that the Jews were stealing Arab land under the protection of British imperialism, while encouraging and helping to organize Arab pogroms against Jews in the Holy Land.

No Time for Tears (film) - Wikipedia
I quit after about pages. Some parts were interesting and I do enjoy Jewish history but this book is just too melodramatic for my tastes. All the women are in love with their sister's husbands. All that could possibly go wrong does. And I just did not agree with most of what Chavala had to say about everything.
It was said numerous times in the book, Chavala Landau is a remarkable woman. Her determination, efficiency, and sheer will to survive was definitely inspiring; her strength combined with her street-smart no-nonsense attitude gave her the ability to achieve her dreams; the reader can't help but cheer her on.
This is a story about a Jewish family, the Rabinsky-Landau's, who trekked from the slums of Odessa to Palestine and beyond; surviving on instinct alone. While the characters wer It was said numerous times in the book, Chavala Landau is a remarkable woman. While the characters were greatly developed, the story itself seemed to be all over the place. At times it was difficult for me to keep track of where certain characters were going to or coming from; Haifa, Jaffa, Jerusalem, Athlit, so on and so on.
I found the part of Russia to be very boring, and although most people would applaud, I felt that there was too much focus on military strategy, or ammunition, or who's getting ready to protect what, when we have the Landau boys meeting girls and proposing on the second date. Maybe if the story were balanced it may have been different, but I just found the Jewish history to be dull, and other parts rushed through.
Cynthia Freeman wrote that a thin line between fact and fiction often lives in the mind of the author and that her novel is a fantasy about the way the events might have unfolded. This wonderful saga is an example of historical fiction at its best -- s story of love, loss, hatred, war, inhumane treatment, abject poverty, and ultimately survival and family ties. It would have been helpful if the author had included some historical notes.
When her mother died in childbirth, sixteen year old Chavala Cynthia Freeman wrote that a thin line between fact and fiction often lives in the mind of the author and that her novel is a fantasy about the way the events might have unfolded. When her mother died in childbirth, sixteen year old Chavala Rabinsky assumed the responsibility for her grief-stricken father and younger siblings. The newly married woman, her husband, and the Rabinsky family fled the pogroms in Russia to live in the Turkish province of Palestine.
Chavala Rabinsky Landau has a dream and a strong sense of responsibility -- to move to America and provide for her family. Defying tradition this strong woman leaves her beloved husband behind and forges a new life dedicated to financially supporting both her family still in Palestine and the struggle for Jewish independence.

This book reminds me of when I would sleep over and my grandma's house and raid her bookshelf. I read this book about 25 years ago, and just tracked it down. I understood a lot more of it than I did before. I am keenly interested in modern Jewish history, and while the book is a bit "Forrest Gump-y" in that the whole family is interwoven with actual historical figures, it is accessible to all readers.
I enjoyed the trip down my own personal memory lane and enjoyed catching up with the landaus. Dec 07, JaNae rated it really liked it. One my mom used to own that I read more than once. Will be reading this one again in the near future. Fabulous read - couldn't put down immediately went on to the next one.. Jun 10, Toni rated it liked it Shelves: The history behind the story is very well researched and quite interesting.
The story itself is very uneven and I found the characters all too perfect to be believable. Apr 17, Mary rated it it was amazing. Please reload or try later.
