A great film spawned a horrible rip-off in "El Alamein" (1953)
Somebody thought they'd recycle Sahara, one of the all-time great WWII films (IMHO) and make a low-budget war drama called "El Alamein"
It's now out on video via Oldies.com and I bought it knowing that it was probably a cheezy rip-off. It does have some redeeming scenes and hey, what tank-nut doesn't like seeing an old tank clanking along, even if it's in a B-grade clunker of a movie???
PS: It does feature a VERY young Rita Moreno as an Bedouin child who speaks passable English and earns the nickname of "dirty-face"!!
