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.

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.

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.
