DESERT COMMANDOS 1967 (MILL CREEK)

Not too bad of a war story.

Ken Clark and Horst Frank headline the cast of this Umberto Lenzi film about German commandos dropped behind enemy lines in the Sahara Desert and who must get to Casablanca for an assassination attempt.

The interesting thing about this movie is that it is from the perspective of the German army. This assassination of Churchill, Stalin and Roosevelt will let them win the war, an this movie actually makes you root for the unlikely heroes.

The trials and tribulations of the men crossing the desert are well handled. They must fight against the elements such as sand storms, scorpions and much more. they also must watch out for enemy troops which they find plenty of.

The ending is a shocker that really hits home and it's a good pay off. The acting is good and you may remember Clark from "Attack Of The Giant Leeches" in 1959. Good actioner and well worth the time in seeking out.
