Netflix has “Sahara on DVD. Last week I previewed this desert saga in which Bogey and his little international band take on a battalion of the Afrika Korps and attempt to hold them off until the cavalry arrives. In my opinion the good guys would have lasted about 30 seconds in their unfortified position against such a force, but that would have wrecked the story and our morale would have suffered. Worth seeing if you haven’t already.

Just amazing that Bogie made "Casablanca" and "Sahara" in less than a year...pretty good career right there..
Interesting factoid about "Casablanca".it was being filmed towards the end of 1942..scheduled for release mid 43...when the news leaked about the upcoming Casablanca conference in Jan 1943, the studio rushed the production. Some say that you can see where they took short-cuts. It was released about 2 weeks after the conference. Talk about great timing..
