Desert Nights (1929)

MGM
Directed by William Nigh
My rating: 2.5 stars out of 4
IMDb
(DVD, Warner Archive Collection)

Visitors to a South African diamond mine turn out to be crooks, a clever opening sequence that had me fooled. They kidnap the owner and set off across the desert. They battle thirst, and each other, during the long trek. Pretty Mary Nolan is a distraction. Competent, compact if somewhat familiar desert story.
