    a unique and inventive war film, a bit slow on the uptake but an ending that sets the stage for many other war films like it. entertaining characters and interesting dialogue make for a highly recommended and excellent film.

    Bogart fighting Nazi's in the desert! Nuff said! Great film about a lone tank heading deep into the Sahara Desert to escape the Nazi's. Bogie is a American tank commander who picks up some Brits,Aussies,a Frenchey,a African and a enemy Italian and Nazi on the way to a oasis to fi...( read more)nd water. The Nazi's are on their back and the Oasis becomes a Alamo type fortress. Great story and acting in beautiful Black and White.Everyone in the Supporting cast is fantastic and the viewer develops a bond with all of them. This movie is supposedly one of Bogart's favorite films he ever made. I can see why, greatness.

    Gripping WWII film featuring an entertaining plot. Great cinematography and direction, and satisfying performances, specially by Humphrey Bogart. Two thumbs up. Very impactful and emotional as well for being of 1943.

    78/100

    Decent WWII desert drama. Some good moments and interesting dilemmas sprinkled amongst the in your face propaganda (it was 1943) and war film cliches (we even get a "thumbs up" moment). Curiously interesting climax. Pales somewhat next to The Lost Patrol, though.

    An excellent war film, Bogart elevates what could have been forgettable propaganda into a classic of valor and sacrifice.
