Sahara — (1943) 12/31/24

Where has this one been?  The excellent war drama features Humphrey Bogart in one of his most satisfying roles, as a get-it-done tank commander surrounded by Germans on the African Sands. It’s solid storytelling with something of a United Nations appeal. Bogie’s tank crew is Bruce Bennett and Dan Duryea. Rex Ingram’s Sgt. is a standout, and J. Carrol Naish won a Supporting Actor nom for his soulful Italian. And the M3-Lee tank Lulubelle has great personal appeal. On Region B Blu-ray from Powerhouse Indicator.
