Review of Lion of the Desert (1981) by David T — 25 Mar 2009
This movie was stopped by Italian censorship cause the subject (Italian military crimes in Lybia). Really "The lion of the Desert" is very funny as adventure movie, but manichee and historically not so accurate.
Oliver Reed is totally different phisically from Rodolfo Graziani and Fascists were not so stupid to hold black shirts in the African desert...
