★★★★★ · A minor masterpiece · dupar · 2024-01-20
The admittedly melodramatic plot is really a mere backdrop for one of the most sensitive portrayals of boyhood friendship ever made. Klaus Sierck would die on the eastern front at the age of 19 but his co-star would go on to a long and illustrious career as a director, passing away in Munich in 2012. Filmed on location in Cairo in 1937 this would the last film young Klaus made before his father immigrated to Hollywood. I'm glad someone posted this; print quality is acceptable.
