in term of visual beauty this movie be outstanding . i have no idea that technicolor come out so early . although i do not like the end and the entire movie be fantastic and make me wish that i be in north africa . the cast be excellent and marlene dietrich be a big plus and of course she be so alluring and i just love her in this flick . basil rathbone be also perfect in this movie . i couldn not get over the scenery and the set . the hotel and the palm tree and the desert and it all there . the legionnaire also bring a beau geste feeling to the film . they certainly do not make movie like these anymore . don not fail to watch this classic .
