by Guest6094 | earlier

For a long time I have been searching for a film , I think British film, black & white covering the plight of a British commando lost in the desert. One scene shows a man being swallowed by moving sands. They had a Land Rover and climbs a hill back tracking the Land Rover. Finally they are rescued. I am not sure Anthony Qayle was in it. May you help me?

The movie was directed by J.Lee Thompson and starring John Mills, the film also won award in the Berlin International Film Festival. Another version of the similar movie was released in the year 1961 by the name of Desert Attack. It centered around a group of army personnel and nurses attempting a dangerous trek across the North African desert during WW2. The leader of the team, a bit of an alcoholic, dreams of drinking ice cold beer when he reaches Alexandria, hence the title. It starred John Mills, Sylvia Syms and Anthony Quayle.
