I topi del deserto (1953)
Richard Burton recita in questo coinvolgente film che racconta la storia disperata di un coraggioso gruppo di uomini che cerca di tenere testa al noto maresciallo tedesco Erwin Rommel e alle sue truppe, nonostante l'evidente maggioranza numerica del nemico. E' l'anno 1941 e tutto ciò che sta tra Rommel e il Canale di Suez è la fortezza di Tobruk, presidiata solo da un piccolo battaglione australiano che il capitano MacRoberts (Burton) deve rapidamente addestrare! James Mason è coprotagonista nelle eccezionali vesti di Rommel in questa eccitante storia d'azione di eroi della seconda guerra mondiale noti come I Topi del Deserto.
