It’s not entirely bleak in appearance. I'm just kidding! Brian Desmond Hurst was at the helm, with Anthony Steel and André Morell in the leading roles, while Bryan Forbes and Robin Maugham crafted the screenplay, William Alwyn composed the score, and Desmond Dickinson handled the cinematography using VistaVision Technicolor. The film is visually appealing; the Libyan settings are striking, but it's a slow and unexciting motion picture overall. The plot centers on Capt. David Holland (Steel), who sustains an injury during WWII’s North African campaign and ends up being cared for by Bedouin people. He quickly integrates into their community, develops feelings for the Sheik’s daughter, and organizes a resistance against the Nazis with the locals. But what follows? Holland's brother, Col. Sir Charles (Donald Sinden), journeys to Libya in an attempt to discover what occurred. He discovers essentially what we see: that there is an interracial romance at the core of the narrative, along with some suspicion, loyalties forming, a minor skirmish, and a complicated resolution. The whole thing feels artificial and disjointed, and some of the performances nearly veer into outright satire. It's not particularly enjoyable; the technical crew deserved a stronger film, as did the audience. Still, it clearly had an influence on Lawrence of Arabia. Haha. 5/10
