A romantic thriller set in French Morocco during IIWW https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0034583/. The war is just a background to a complicated love affair, US just entered IIWW and to the majority of American public Africa was a mysterious exotic place, adding to the sensual relationship between main characters. I intentionally never saw this film before. It is considered to be a war classic. Let me be frank. It is like driving a Model T Ford after being accustomed to a modern EV. I don't know German, French and Italian military uniforms of that period, but they look like costume improvisations to me. And of course the continuous background music of that cinematography period....but everyone looked young and beautiful....
