Fernando F. Croce

Zoltan Korda's wartime coalition is more Air Force muscularity than In Which We Serve fustiness

Emanuel Levy

Like other WWII adventures, Sahara contains elements of propaganda, but it's expertly directed by Korda, well acted by Bogart and the other men, and strikingly photographed by Rudolph Mate who received an Oscar nomination.

Steven D. Greydanus

One of the best WWII-era WWII movies… a thoroughly entertaining war actioner starring Humphrey Bogart as a tough American sergeant commanding a tank crew in the Libyan desert.
