Another of the "mad-man-in-the-desert" myriad of movies made in the wake of Lawrence of Arabia's success - including Charlton Heston on a crusade to "save his people", the Egyptians, through the Nile ... again (I kid you not). But when it came to panoramic desert spectacles, David Lean had already set the bar too high. So the only mention-worthy element, is one performance, so brilliant, that even with a mid-movie discovery of the actor’s identity by mere chance, I still couldn’t recognize him. Yes ... that good. See if you can guess without looking at the cast list.
