Sea of Sand was distributed in the US in a shortened version, Desert Patrol. John Gregson plays Captain Williams, a martinet mine expert who vows to whip a lackadaisacal patrol into shape.

The war in the desert has inspired quite a few films and this one is certainly amongst the best. It is tough, cynical and heroic. It is also miles away from a romantic vision of the war or any aesthetic stand. If beaut is to be found in this movie, it is in the roughness of the desert and the suffering of the men.
