This ranks among the best war movies made in the 1940s thanks to the acting and direction. Plus, since this movie was made during the war, many would find the characters stereotyped (like the Nazi officer and the Italian soldier played by J. Carroll Naish), but since the movie it's great this can be forgiven.
Bogart plays a tank commander that is stuck in the North-African desert with his men and with them he tries to find the rest of the armies and also supplies of water, and in the meanwhile they stumble on the evil Nazi commander and the Italian soldier that is taken prisoner. When they find the water, they wait for a brief period of time, and... well, I won't spoil what happens next. Just see the movie and enjoy.
This today can also be considered one of the first ''men's movies'', because the cast is full of male stars and there isn't a single woman in the movie. And this ranks among Bogart's best performances, and even though he doesn't dominate the movie he is still great, and he is supported here by the likes of Lloyd Bridges, Dan Duryea, Bruce Bennett and J. Carroll Naish.
