The Desert Fox (DVD, 1951) NEW & SEALED James Mason WAR MOVIE Region 2 pal

The Desert Fox, released six years after the end of the War, is a solemnly respectful tribute to Erwin Rommel, Germany's most celebrated military genius. James Mason's portrayal of this gallant warrior became a highlight of his career iconography. The film itself is oddly disjointed, though: a pre-credit commando raid to liquidate Rommel is followed by a flashback to the field-marshal's lightning successes commanding the Afrika Korps--a compressed account via documentary footage and copious narration (spoken by Michael Rennie, who also dubs Desmond Young, the Rommel biographer and one-time British POW appearing briefly as himself). The dramatic core is Rommel's growing disenchantment with Hitler (Luther Adler), his involvement in the plot to assassinate the Fuhrer, and his subsequent martyrdom. \n\n--Language: English \n\n--Region: Region 2 (This DVD may not be viewable outside Europe.) \n\n--Number of discs: 1\n\n--Classification: PG \n\nThank you for looking at our listing !!
