ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

chaswe-28402 It must be admitted that not a great deal is made clear by this film, except that Britain defeated Germany. What were the relative numbers on the German and British sides ? We weren't told. An excellent review by a British viewer in Liverpool, as well as other reviews, gives us the reasons. The film was issued in 1943, and had to be cautious in what it revealed. The quality on my disc cannot be described as good, and I'm basically left with numerous images of guns blazing, tanks rolling, aircraft flying, soldiers on both sides dead, dying and captured, without a great deal of explanation of what and where it is all happening. There is just about enough description of the tactics to provide some sort of a picture. One of the other reviewers made it clear that Rommel lost because of his lengthy and vulnerable supply line, as well as his relatively useless Italian allies. Why was he called the Desert Fox ? Heartening to see that the Limeys were actually participating in WWII. After noting Montgomery's reputation in Patton and Saving Private Ryan, and understanding that the heroic Americans had triumphed everywhere, I wasn't entirely sure.

oscar-35 *Spoiler/plot- 1943, A film showing the operations of many Allied units to support the eventual winning back of North Africa and preparations to start the Italian campaign.*Special Stars- Narrator: JD Hodson *Theme- Cooperation and planning wins wars.*Trivia/location/goofs- British documentary. North Africa battles shown with captured German footage. This film is a very successful documentary of this time.*Emotion- An enjoyable documentary made up of live action combat or newsreel footage. However, there are the unpleasant shots of injured Americans and killed Germans. But it is extremely educational and does what a narrative simulated war film can do.

Syl This documentary was awarded an Academy Award during the midst of World War II. With film and stock footage, please be aware that quality may have effected it while viewing over time. The documentary covers Germany's General Rommel and British General Montgomery in the desert. This documentary shows actual footage of Rommel and Hitler themselves. During the making of this film, four British Army cameramen were killed, seven were wounded, and six were taken prisoners by the Germans. Wartime even during World War II was a dangerous time for even the cast and crew who were determined to show the world the enemy's path of destruction in the desert. World War II's primary motive was to overtake and control the world. Hitler and his men were on their way but thankfully they lost. But it was too late for the millions of casualties of war and the survivors left to rebuild and construct after wards.

Robert Reynolds This has to be one of the greatest documentaries of all time! The combat footage is all real! At the beginning, there is a notation that, in the fighting depicted, four of the cameramen were killed and thirteen others were either wounded or captured by the enemy. There is also footage taken by the Germans that was captured in the British advance. Watching this, think about one thing: everything you are seeing, a camerman was close enough to shoot with a camera and was, while filming, unarmed and a target. Hemingway defined courage as "grace under pressure". This marvelous masterpiece is a testament to incredible courage. Words fail to do these brave souls credit. But Desert Victory does. I salute them and the others whose courage is immortalized here on celluloid.
