A Commander receives a citation for an attack on General Erwin Rommel's headquarters, which is actually undeserved, as the Commander is unfit for his job. On top of that, unbeknownst to him, his wife is having an affair with one of his officers.
影史扫盲，片子播放问题频频卡顿，没啥感觉。
伯顿沙漠之死令我心碎。但有些镜头可能是时代所限，表意不清晰。

这部片子的重点可不是描写盟军与德军发生在阿拉伯大沙漠的战争，其实影片只用了不算长的时间，展示了盟军突击队袭击德军总部夺取机密文件以及伏击德军巡逻队两场战斗戏。以后相当长的时间里，除了展示突击队徒步穿越沙漠所面临的恶劣的生存环境外，片子的重点放在描述少校布拉德对上尉利斯的谋害上。利斯是布拉德夫人的老相好，不巧的是，行动前布拉德夫人探望丈夫，与利斯不期而遇，两人旧情复燃，而这一切都被布拉德看得一清二楚...
