Posts from The Ringo Kid in thread „The Desert Rats (1953)“

Just recently picked up five great stills from this movie.

Here is the one photo of the "real" Desert Rats that resides in my collection: This photo is for the memory of Smokies Father--Bill.

The Desert Rats w/ Richard Burton, James Mason, Robert Newton and Torin Thatcher. I never get tired of seeing the "Rats" kick DAK behinds.

W/ Robert Newton:

Little Tammy McRoberts:


Great observation bunker view:

The Heneralfeldmarshall himself--image from: The Desert Fox and NOT--The Desert Rats:

W/ Sergeant "Blue"

I had one doozy of a reply but the stupid thing times out on me >:-(( Anyway, it had to go with Rommel and what those who criticize (wrongfully) on somehti8nig they obviously know little or nothing about-in that they say that Mason basically portrayed Rommel in a wrong way and that Rommel was not an heroic figure-is pure BS. I listed at least 3 things that are proven fact. Ill not list them at this time as I dont feel like repeatinig my first attempt to post ;-))
