"The Black Tent (1956) ... Steel/Sinden/Sandri/Morell ... Brian Desmond Hurst (Director) (2011)"
Sep 1 2011

TOP 50 REVIEWER
VCI Entertainment and The Rank Collection presents "THE BLACK TENT" (1956) (94 min/Color) -- Starring: Anthony Steel, Donald Sinden, Anna Maria Sandri, Andre Morell, Ralph Truman, Donald Pleasence, Anthony Bushell, Michael Craig
Directed by: Brian Desmond Hurst
VCI has restored and brought from their vaults another great film from the British Invasion.
Donald Sinden has become heir to a country estate in the British country side. Looking for his brother who disappeared during WWII.
He finds the tribal chief Sheik Salem ben Yussef (Andre Morell) who has the diary of his brother Anthony Steel. He learns his brother has been killed by the German soldiers and has a wife (Anna-Maria Sandri) and son (Terence Sharkey).
Now the son who is an heir must make the decision of going with his Uncle or staying with his Mother and Grand Father, what would you do?
Filmed with some of the best cinematography, which is an asset showing the beauty of the desert.
Music Composed by William Alwyn Conducted by Muir Mathieson, has classic composing written all over it.
The plot and story line does not move smoothly and has some dragging moments, that you lose interest.

* Special Footnote: -- Italian actress Anna-Maria English was so poor, her dialogue had to be completely dubbed by Nanette Newman, wife of the film's screenwriter, Bryan Forbes. Forbes himself played a dying enemy soldier, a role that took three days to shoot, but the footage ended up on the cutting room floor

Eriic "the Red" on the movie "The Black Tent"
Nov 2 2011

I really liked the 1956 movie "The Black Tent" featuring unknown actors because it is an unusual adventure romance. Set in Libya, WWII, a wandering wounded English army officer is helped by a pretty young Bedouin lady and her honourable father. Like so much of real life, it goes happy, sad and then happy at the end. Watch this movie; it touched my heart. Eric "the Red".
