The Desert Song
Warner Bros, 1953, Color, 111 minutes, ***½
Released May, 1953

It's French-occupied Africa during the early years of the twentieth Century, and Gordon MacRae is secretly leading a double life as mild-mannered Professor Paul Bonnard and the tough rebel leader, El Khobar. Whenever trouble brews, Paul slips into a phone booth, whips off his glasses, and... El Khobar to the rescue! Sort of a North African version of El Zorro. Kathryn Grayson is the coy French General's daughter who falls for El Khobar. Dick Wesson is onhand as an American newspaper reporter to deliver some comic relief, and Allyn McLerie provides some sexy native dancing.

Although this is the third film production of Romberg's highly successful play, it's still fun. And it's a bit different than the average musical fare, with adventure and romance in the North African desert and some of the most beautiful music ever written for the American stage! Don't miss it!
