Lion of the Desert is a canny film, though it's probably a film from which one will take just what one took into it. No expense has been spared.

Visually it is awesome, due in no small part to Jack Hildyard's cinematography, but a desert spectacular is by nature limited. Lion of the Desert grows tedious long before its 2 3/4-hour running time has run its course.

Rating: A --
It's one of the best anti-colonial Hollywood film ever (almost on a par with the Battle of Algiers).
