The Desert Fox/The Desert Rats

A double bill of war films. 'The Desert Fox' is a biopic of Field Marshal Rommel, from his military defeat in Africa to his implication in the plot to assassinate Hitler. James Mason plays Rommel and the film was one of the first to use original war footage before the opening credits. Mason reprises his role as Field Marshal Rommel on the acclaimed 'The Desert Rats' about a British captain who takes charge of an Australian squad to train them for desert fighting. But his stiff upper lip does not quickly win over his Australian charges.
