Sahara (1943) starring Humphrey Bogart. Sergeant Joe Gunn (Bogart) commands a tank in the north African desert in 1942. He has two American crewmen left, but takes on five British soldiers, a Frenchman and a Sudanese soldier with an Italian prisoner of war. Their first order of business is to look for water, then fight the Germans. The final battle of the movie -- nine Allied troops hold off 500 Nazis, who desperately want the water -- is a rousing one. Not surprisingly, for a movie made in the middle of World War II, this one is filled with patriotic fervor and speechifying. Still, entertaining. The subtitles are good. Closed captions are available. Grade: B
