Comment
A British soldier in the North African campaign is the only survivor of an attack by the Germans and is given help by Bedouins. He is not heard from again, but after the war his brother is given evidence that he was with the Bedouins, so he goes out to the dessert to find out what happened to him. This is poor, very slow and lacks any sense of drama. The dialogue is stilted and cliched, plus the acting is wooden. The highlight is Anna Marie Sandri's multiple changes of clothes, even though they bear no relation to Bedouin dress.
