 EXCELLENT WW2 WAR MOVIE - PAL FORMAT !! July 30, 2006
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
This is an excellent WW2 war movie set in the Western Desert of North Africa. It is the story of a group of British soldiers who must outwit the German Army and survive the desert in an attempt to return to British lines. One of the party is a German officer who is eventually found out. To survive the desert they all must pull together. Upon arrival in Egypt they have "An Ice Cold" beer "In ALEX" (Alexandria, Egypt). CAUTION....will not play on USA players....hopefully it will be released in NTSC and Region 1 format in the near future. It is a very good film of desert survival and honor between enemies.

Watch out.This product is NOT COMPATIBLE with north american
dvd players.It is ONLY suitable for region 2.
Even if it is advertised on a north american website (U.S/CANADA),some not so bright individual "forgot" to have it encoded for region 1 for export purposes.
You will waste time and money and end up with a useless product
unable to enjoy it,and in this case also review it.
All you will get is a ERROR display on your dvd player.
Hopefully some day this otherwise fine war movie will be available locally in region 1 format,then maybe i'll be able to review it.

Saw this movie only once but remember it rather vividly. It is a classic film of man vs. nature set in Northern Africa during the Second World War. The struggle between man and nature is epic and the acting is done in the classic british style of the 1950's. On the lines of Alec Guinness and the like. Nevertheless one waits for the classic ending scene. Unfortunately watching this movie in the US would be a struggle for anyone who is not dedicated. Kudos for anyone who actually reads this review.
