The wonder of the desert is it's immensity. In it, man and time blend to create the illusion of life, when in fact, it's tugging it into the shifting sands. This early Black and White film depicts the story of a British Desert Patrol, written by Philip MacDonald and is directed by John Ford. The film begins with the commanding officer being killed and ironically enough, is the only one who knows where the Patrol is headed. From then on, the cast which has Victor McLaglen playing The Sergeant arrive at a desert Oasis and do their best to survive against desert tribesmen who are systematically killing the soldiers. Boris Karloff plays Sanders, a conscience ridden soldier who succumbs to the desert isolation by becoming a religious fanatic. With Wallace Ford, Reginald Denny and Alan Hale in the cast, the movie becomes a study of men, each with his own thoughts on life. This is a wonderful, though at times a bit over the top film, but one which has established itself a an early Classic. Good Show. ****
