Sahara (1943)
Country: US
Technical: bw 97m
Director: Zoltan Korda
Cast: Humphrey Bogart, Bruce Bennett, Lloyd Bridges
Synopsis:
1942: Tobruk has fallen to the Axis forces, and an American tank picks up a group of survivors in the desert. Water is in short supply, and the Germans are closing in.
Review:
It is doubtful there were any U.S. forces in North Africa at that time, especially in the Eastern desert, so this is another of those Hollywood liberties with the facts to facilitate leading roles for American actors. Never mind, this a topical war film from Columbia, focused on unity of action and keeping personal dramatics in balance with military heroics, in this case the struggle for control of a well.
