It's only 90 minutes long, this - but it seemed way longer! George Raft is "Capt. Paul Gerard", an officer in the French Foreign Legion assigned to escort the daughter of the Emir - "Cara" (Marie Windsor) - to her father's palace. Needless to say, their journey is fraught with danger so we could be ... in for a fun desert adventure movie. Sadly, though, a romance begins to blossom; singing totally disrupts the narrative and shortly we end up with a hotch-potch of a drama that is neither one thing nor the other. Raft is there, but he isn't - he seems to have little, if any, interest in the part and Windsor lacks any sort of star quality. It's got a few decent action scenes, and the last fifteen minutes make up some of the earlier lost ground but all in all, this is a largely forgettable effort. Shot on location, but hey - a desert is a desert is a desert....
