Good little war flick. I read somewhere that Sahara was Bogart’s favorite, in terms of roles got to play. It was also quite interesting to see Dan Duryea in a good guy role for a change.

Probably my favorite character in the film, though, was Louis Mercier’s “Frenchy.” His dialogue with Bogart about how to deal with a Nazi is just priceless.

AN ambitious design for what pre-war would have been called an "infantry tank" --- but the Germans made short work of them due to their excessively high profile...

I love to see these old newspaper adds to see what movies were on, and how many were never see again.

Did you know that SAHARA was remade into a Western in which Comanche Indians were the bad guys? I saw it on TV a few years ago.

LAST OF THE COMANCHES.

SAHARA is one of Bogie's best.
