Ice Cold in Alex

(1958)Directed by J. Lee Thompson125 min · PGWar, Adventure, Drama
“3 guys...and a couple of gals...and the mission that led them through 600 miles of burning hell!”

Tobruk is falling, and Captain Anson (John Mills) has stopped talking about the ice cold lager he has promised himself in Alexandria. With two nurses, including Sister Diana Murdoch (Sylvia Syms), and a battered ambulance, he sets out across the North African desert. J. Lee Thompson sends them through minefields and soft sand toward friendly lines, and every mile of that distance can cost them the lives in the vehicle.
