Featured review
Good remake
Of course don't expect to find in this British movie the magnificence of the John Huston's genuine, authentic material. But George Sanders brings his own touch and nobody can regret that. The basic scheme remains the same as in the original. The actors are less powerful as the American cast but this Wolf Rilla's movie is worth watching, and also a bit rare, hard to catch. I won't say it is a masterpiece but for anyone interested in crime films from all over the world, and from old times, this one is absolutely for you. And Cairo atmosphere, settings brings something exotic, quite different from the urban jungle of the ASHALT JUNGLE;
