Movie Reviews of The Desert Rats
Movie Review: It's a War Classic!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Richard Burton rises from pommy brass Captain to Lt. Colonel in 30 minutes. The rest of the film is a gritty classic in B/W with Burton playing off of a former schoolteacher who is now part of the Australian Army, and a battalion that Burton ends up commanding. In the end, he wins the love and devotion of the Aussies (would you expect less) in a desert warfare classic.
I would have liked to see more balance with coverage of Rommel and his forces, equally distinguished desert warriors, but that is hardly a criticism of a film that stands on its Allied own. And I higly recommend it for your war classics collection--and it even stars a young great actor in his early prime, Richard Burton!
