Review of Five Graves to Cairo (1943) by Lucas G — 05 Dec 2011
It's not badly acted or directed, but Wilder made a war movie look like a mix of a James Bond film and a bad children's cartoon, with the worst elements of each. Everyone is annoyingly charicaturesque, the mystery is obvious and the abuse of stereotypes is revolting.
Besides, the Desert Fox's portray is one of the most ridiculous, unfunny, rioting and historically innacurate ever. Old bad nazi, good ally flick with charm for people who like shallowness, bad vaudeville comedy, and dislike solid war themed movies.
