A piece of history and a fascinating piece too.

ByRussell Son February 6, 2015

Format: DVDVerified Purchase

From 1951, we have a wonderful mix of documentary style and acting. this is the story of Erwin Rommel, the Nazi tank commander of North Africa. This story is told by someone who met him, albeit, briefly and wanted to know more after the war. What follows looks to be a very accurate account and also a very scary one. As history tells up it just took too long for Rommel to realize what a maniac his leader was. Definitely worth watching and the performances by all especially James Mason are superb.

DVD features a nice transfer of a great film

ByShirley Lawingon August 3, 2017

Format: DVDVerified Purchase

I recently saw an advance review copy of the DVD "The Desert Fox" and I was surprised at the nice quality of the transfer of what is an exceptional movie. Based on the exploits of the famed German general Erwin Rommel the DVD has a crisp clean transfer. Included on this disc is the original theatrical trailer which remarkably, considering it's age, is also reproduced here in relatively good condition.
Considering it's low price this addition to the Fox War Classics catalog is easy to recommend.

Worth the money I paid.

ByAndreaon August 3, 2014

Format: DVDVerified Purchase

When judging movies of this period and the time they were produced, I essentially look for three things:
A, Did it keep my attention? Answer: Yes
B, Did I like the actors/acting, lines/dialogue, action scenes? Answer: For the most part, yes
C, Is it just another "Rah, rah!" film of the period? Meaning, is it mostly how we 'supposedly' won the war? Propaganda BS movie? Answer, not really and it told the story, at least for the most part in a short way, about Rommel. It wasn't really in depth and it didn't really tell about his thinking and actual trials of being a general in Hitler's war machine. It touched on some of the issues but not like a book on the subject would.
Overall, I like the film and love James Mason, so it rates a four star rank as far as old war films go.

You can't go wrong here

James Mason portrays the part of German General Rommel. It is well done you will enjoy it
Rommel was probably the best of the German's Brilliant Leaders

But James Mason makes this a great movie.

ByEdward Mayon July 20, 2017

A little light on his military career and a little too heavy on his personal life.
But James Mason makes this a great movie.

The Desert Fox

ByBwhamion April 25, 2014

Format: DVDVerified Purchase

James Mason is Field Marshall Erwin Rommel. The movie is too short and jumps around a bit. The film is narrated by Michael Rennie, who some might remember from the movie "The day the Earth Stood Still". For it's day the movie included many of the great English actors of the 50's. Watch for actor Richard Boon is a German officer who is Rommel's personal assistant, he has a few lines but does a get some screen time. Luther Adler, a Jewish American actor does a passable job as Hitler. It is sort of a dramatic documentary and the Author of the Book, Lt. Col. Desmond Young, plays himself, but is voiced by Michael Rennie. If you like WWII movies and want to see the German side of things, own this movie.
