Featured review
Enchanted desert
Or enchanted valley in the desert. What a wonderful, colorful adventure yarn, starring Alan Ladd, Akim Tamiroff, Richard Conte as the villain and Arlene Dahl who seems as predictable in this kind of films as a bullet in a gun barrel. Or Rhonda Fleming, or Yvonne de Carlo, who could also have played in this movie. Plenty of suspense, action, not many surprises, but who cares, only charm, charm and fifties charm is important here. Especially for old timers movie buffs who saw these movies during their childhood. Universal Pictures typical product, better than Sam Katzman productions for Columbia, and as good as Paramount studios, another good adventure films provider. What else could I say? Just go and watch it. But concerning French Foreign Legion, I would prefer DESERT SANDS or BEAU GESTE. Only a matter of taste.
