Lawrence of Arabia?

Is that on an island?

According to John Donne, every man is an island....so, yes?

errrr No man is an Island, you mean....

I was adapting for Coronavirus, but yes, you're right.

Enemy mine, Lee Marvin and Toshiro Mifune.

That's the one and IIRC there was a b movie sci film version done as well.

To be honest I was thinking about a conversation I had with a friend last week who said there are almost no decent WW2 desert war films in colour.

I know LoA was not WW2, the question just stuck with me.

I a WW2 Desert film in my top 10. I will reveal tomorrow morning.

There was a remake of the Bogart classic "Sahara" (1995, with James Belushi).

what was that 1960s thing that claimed the Desert Rats were American ? TV series I think

The Rat Patrol ?

The Desert Fox, also 5 Graves to Cairo and Ice Cold in Alex are desert films.
