1940, Africa. French and German troops are at war. Mike Conway is a soldier of fortune who will stop at nothing to get enough money to return to the States. He finds himself beset by a Tuareg rebel leader against the French, an Imam who wants to make peace, and the amorous attentions of the wife of the commander of the French Foreign Legion. (Locarno Festival)

Jacques Tourneur definitely has better films than this adventure movie, which seems to want to imitate "Casablanca", but simply cannot. There is a romantic dimension here, there is a villain, there is an adventure dimension, but overall it does not have nearly the same power as the older, legendary film. However, Jacques Tourneur's outstanding atmosphere shines through thanks to the black-and-white camera.
