Sunbar ◊ 2008-11-27 18:24	Strange that this movie has not already been added to IMCDb. A good movie and one to watch out for in the future.
Gag Halfrunt ◊ 2008-12-19 18:56	Filmed in Libya and at Elstree studios. http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0053935/locations
Sunbar ◊ 2008-12-20 16:49	Background images, including a 1950s Morris Minor (thumbnail 1 on the right)... More Tanks...
Pibwl ◊ 2009-04-05 01:25	The first tank is probably a Valentine, the second is Churchill, last ones are probably post-war Centurions.
chicomarx ◊ 2015-12-27 03:05	@antarmike too poorly visible in my opinion. I'll post them here: Morris Minor + Piaggio Vespa.
Sunbar ◊ 2016-11-14 12:34	Another briefly seen background car, transferred to comments as it cannot be reliably identified. Sunbar wrote On the left, seen in Alexandria at the end of the movie, what looks like a 1950s American car. nzcarnerd wrote It is a step-down Hudson from about 1950. Could be a Commodore Club Coupe. Commander 57 wrote Quality seems way too poor to me to conclude it is a Hudson at all, let alone a 1950. Pierre wrote Perhaps a little grainy. Clearly a 2-door, if it is a Commodore Club coupe. Commander 57 wrote Frankly, I'm of the opinion that this one should be deleted. I really can't tell what it is. Suggestive of a Hudson but we need more than that.
snowy ◊ 2018-03-07 02:12	The scooter seen in the ending is not a Piaggio Vespa as stated by chicomarx it is a Lambretta model D
JavierDiesel ◊ 2021-07-25 01:18	“Alexandria” in the movie was Tripoli in fact
LVCDC ◊ 2025-12-24 06:31	It's incredible that no one has drawn parallels between this film and Un taxi pour Tobruk. The crew is different, as are the beginning and end (although very similar), but the situations are the same! Based on two different books, the question is whether the French novel is a rewriting of the English short story. Regarding the planes, IMPDB took a look at the photos provided by humungus (thanks to him !) BTW Le désert de la peur (French title) -- Last edit: 2025-12-24 06:35:18
