War Movies & Television Series


SAHARA (1943)


 

 

 


Some people would call this a classic, I wouldn't -- I think it is mediocre. The story line is highly improbable and filled with patronizing stereo-types. Make what you will of the quality of this movie, but it should be of special interest to AANA members because it is a genuine piece of wartime propaganda, and when viewed as such, becomes all the more interesting. I could discuss the propaganda themes in this film, but considering the audience I am writing this review for, I think to do so would be equivalent to giving away the plot and the ending! I'll leave you to work it out.
As a Sunday afternoon movie, I'd give it a 4 out of 5, certainly not a blockbuster I'd stay in for on a Friday night. But as a piece of history, it is a must-see. (DANNY)

This 1943 produced movie is based on the Russian film
Trinadtsat (1937) and was actually filmed in Brawley, California and not in North Africa! (NACHT)
