Movie Reviews of Sahara
Movie Review: "Bogart's finest performance of America's Fighting Man is Realistic"
Summary: 5 Stars
Columbia Pictures Corporation presents "SAHARA" (1943) (97 min/B&W) -- Starring Humphrey Bogart, Bruce Bennet, J. Carrol Naish, Lloyd Bridges & Dan Duryea
Directed by Zoltan Korda
Well directed by Zoltan Korda, this is a first rate War film, which qualitatively balanced its superb action sequences with penetrating character studies.
When separated from his unit in the Libyan Desert, Bogart seen as a tank commander picks up a group of allied (and eventually several enemy) stragglers and heads out in search of badly needed water. Only arriving at a nearly dry oasis, and after he learns that a motorized battalion of Germans is also after the water, Bogart decides to make a valiant stand...
Considered to be the most realistic portrait of the truly "American" fighting man yet pictured on the screen, Bogart's characterization is outstanding.
Masterful musical score by Miklos Rozsa, who did similar duty the same year in another "tank" picture, Billy Wilder's "Five Graves to Cairo."
Filmed in the American desert instead of the real Sahara due to the war, this movie is one of the best war films ever made. The Allied soldiers are a mix of a lot of different nationalities (American, British, French, South African, Irish, Sudanese) and we see how these men from diverse backgrounds come together to survive against the elements and the Germans.
Oscar nominated for Best Actor in a Supporting Role (J. Carrol Naish), Best Cinematography (Black-and-White) and Best Sound, Recording
