Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaIn an interview given in 1993, Fay Wray expressed disappointment over this film. She recalled that she felt the script was substandard and a bit too unrealistic. She was surprised to learn from the interviewer that screenwriters Ben Hecht and Charles MacArthur had likely pawned the script off on one or more subordinates before the script was finished.
- GoofsWhen The Arab is going down the street on his way to tell Hunt about his inability to furnish him with a car, he is clearly being followed by a spotlight.
- Quotes
Barrington Hunt: Did you get that car?
Arab: Impossible.
Barrington Hunt: It's not impossible! Do you expect me to go on a camel? Now you keep on looking until you come back with a car. A car - do you understand? Four wheels. One on each corner. A motor in the front to make it go.

Featured review
Better Than Average Yarn
Setting aside all the implausible elements in the story, it's a pretty good, briskly told yarn, made exciting by the way the plot actually becomes more complicated as the film careens wildly to its conclusion. So it's easy to watch, first of all, this garden of unholy criminals in the middle of nowhere working through their mutually broken honor among thieves. Pre-code, you'll find only the hint of a bosom flashing from a very minor female character. Otherwise the sexual innuendos are largely verbal. Like another reviewer, I too appreciated the hotel-in-the-desert ambiance and its effervescent symbolism. And the strangely obsequious Arab natives flitting about never intrude upon the Westerners. Meanwhile Ronald Colman and ever-pleasantly baby-fatty Fay Wray may not be the last word in chemistry, but they do get the job done nicely.
