Storm Over the Nile (1955)


Columbia Pictures
Directed by Terence Young and Zoltan Korda
My rating: 2.5 stars out of 4
IMDb
(DVD, Sony Screen Classics by Request)

British soldiers are called to Egypt to fight in a war. One of them resigns his commission and is branded a coward. Later he goes to Egypt undercover as a mute native to prove his bravery. He saves one of his former friends who survives a bloody battle by leading him across the desert. The location shooting and epic battle scenes are highlights, but it's certainly no Lawrence of Arabia.
