The Desert Fox (1951)

£0.00

(Rommel, Desert Fox)


Country: US
Technical: bw 88m
Director: Henry Hathaway
Cast: James Mason, Jessica Tandy, Cedric Hardwicke, Leo G. Carroll

Synopsis:

Germany's most chivalrous General takes time to be persuaded of his Führer's insanity and ultimately meets the fate of the July plotters, though in shadier circumstances.

Review:

Atypical Hollywood history, based on a British officer's biography of Rommel and masterminded by Nunnally Johnson. The tone is sombre, the acting above-average and the abiding theme that of the clash between a soldier's loyalty and his soldierly conscience.
