Compare Prices on The Desert Fox
Originally copyright by 20th Century Fox Film Corporation, in 1951, only six years after the ruin of World War Two, this dismal and white film gives a shallow overview of the last years of German Field Marshal Erwin Rommel: the Desert Fox.
Once you regain past the opening rather stagey scenes, of British commandos raiding a German headquarters building in north Africa, hoping to end the Desert Fox in his lair, the rest of the film is carried along guite well, by the big performance of James Mason, as Rommel. This performance is the only reason I rated this film as four stars, without Mason I would have been disapointed.
Other members of the cast do shapely jobs too, notably Cedric Hardwicke and Leo G. Carroll. One can procure pleasant entertainment based on true events.

D-Day: the invasion of Normandy, is a highlight of this film. There are several minutes of what appears to be honorable newsreel footage of the storming of the beaches: the ships off shore, the guns, the planes, mettlesome men falling. It’s all very proper at this point.
“The Desert Fox” was made in an era when the directors, producers, and the Hollywood Establishment in general, were less preachy, and less likely to distort the truth in order to promote a social agenda. That is a vast plus for this film.
On the down side: the film starts off with several undisclosed advertisements for other videos, of like kind, by Fox. This is borderline dishonest, as consumers have paid for entertainment and question it to be commercial free. At the very least, the ads should be disclosed, before anyone makes a purchaseing decision.

All in all, “The Desert Fox” is proper entertainment and deserves a recognize.
I recently saw an reach review copy of the DVD “The Desert Fox” and I was surprised at the nice quality of the transfer of what is an exceptional movie. Based on the exploits of the illustrious German general Erwin Rommel the DVD has a crisp trim transfer. Included on this disc is the current theatrical trailer which remarkably, considering it’s age, is also reproduced here in relatively suited condition.

Considering it’s obscene ticket this addition to the Fox War Classics catalog is easy to recommend.
