5/16: Sahara is one of the more interesting WWII pictures that takes place in the desert of North Africa.

Humphrey Bogart proved he could play any role in any genre. He's fun to watch. The story is interesting, but it's Rudolph Maté's cinematography of the Sahara Desert that gets my attention the most. It's beautifully shot. Of course, he had done the same thing for many films, receiving five Oscar nominations in total including this one.

All in all, Sahara can be slow at times, but how it looks has kept me motivated to finish it in one sitting.
