Review of Lion of the Desert (1981) by Srinivasan J — 14 Jul 2009
No wondering why it has been censored in Italy for 28 years, because it would have made all the italian ashamed of being italian for what happened, as it made me yesterday night. Speaking of the film and not of its history, Anthony Quinn has been superb.
He gave to his character the exactly charisma and power that an historical figure like Omar Mukhtar would and should have. Only a poin: I think it's too long, and I watched the short version (of "only" 173 mins).
