2.0 out of 5 stars Documentary My Dear Rat, December 4, 2002

This review is from: The Fighting Rats Of Tobruk (DVD)

First I would like to say the transfer from film to DVD is only mediocre. Some of the dark battle scenes in the original go completely black on DVD. This movie starts out like a documentary in Australia with the commentator talking about the Australian cattle ranchers. From time to time through out the movie it goes back to a documentary style. This bored me to the point that I fast forwarded it to the point they go off to war. The rest of the movie moves at a decent pace and the acting isn't to bad. Peter Finch is in it and turns in a fair performance. However; there are a couple scenes where the commanders are planning their battle tactics that are very stiff. Overall the movie just doesn't make it in my library of those WWII movies to own. If you are really into Australia's war movies you may find this more redeeming than I did. I'm giving my DVD to a charity.

If you are interested in the battle of Tobruk,you would be better
off opting for two Richard Burton movies about thIS battle:
The Desert Rats or Raid on Rommel.

This review is from: The Fighting Rats Of Tobruk (DVD)

The sign of the times, typical 1940's movie, the only thing you see in this movie is just the Aussies, not a single German featured in this movie(you won't see the AFRIKA KORPS anywhere in this movie) This is perhaps the most dissapointing Desert war movie of all.......(and i have and seen ALL there is)
