Directed by Henry Hathaway
Paul Bonnard (Rossano Brazzi "South pacific")arrives in Timbuktu in search of a guide to escort him into the Sahara desert. American Joe January (John 'Duke' Wayne) a jolly drunkard takes the job despite misgivings about Bonnard's plans. Dita,(Sophia Loren) a prostitute who has been deeply moved by what appears to be Bonnard's spiritual nature, follows the two men into the desert. Eventually the trio arrives in the ruins of a lost city, where Bonnard hopes to find the treasure his father sought years earlier before disappearing. But what Bonnard finds alters him in unexpected ways, with tragic results
A remake with Jolie could be interesting but Loren's shoes are hard to fill
with the bulk of the film reaches the desert, 'cabin fever sets in , you can tell the cinematographer was a littlke bit in love with Loren caus there is no point in the film where she looks bad, she and the duke play well off eachover,almost better than Cary Grant in Houseboat this ones a"lust in Dust" film
dont get sand in your undies!
