That's 1943's The Desert Song. Now add an immaculate film restoration and resolve rights issues that had long kept this work out of circulation and -- at last - this widely unseen spectacle can be enjoyed by today's fans. Christmas in Connecticut's Dennis Morgan stars (and lends his melodic tenor to several tunes) as the elusive El Khobar, a mysterious man of action whose work as a cabaret piano player hides his identity as the leader of a bullet-frenzied fight against the Nazis' construction of a vital North African railroad. Irene Manning (Yankee Doodle Dandy) plays the strawberry-blonde songstress who catches the hero's eye. Review: Who could hate this movie - Who could hate this movie? I see the three words, "I hate it." and then I see the retort "I love it." Ditto the "I love it." It's rather like "Casablanca" meets "Lawrence of Arabia" meets "Showboat". I was completely entertained. I wish that more of the Romberg music were in it, particularly the incredible tenor-bass combination of "When One Flower Grows Alone in Your Garden". It plays as background music, but I sure did want to hear it and see it in this movie. I loved the Moroccan musical interludes and for the first time recognized a lot of those Arab motifs in the beautiful Romberg tunes. Dennis Morgan, I see now, has great charisma and a good tenor voice. I had never heard of the soprano, and she is just a bit weaker of voice than I would have liked. I remember Anna Moffo's recording for Readers' Digest production multi-album "Treasury of Great Operettas", to which few sopranos could compare favorably. Nice movie and I repeat, what kind of person could possibly hate this film????? Donald Trump probably, but who else? Review: Great Movie - I love old musicals and think Gordon MacRae was one of the greatest singers of all times. I have quite a collection of these, including an out-of-print copy of "Deep In My Heart," the story of Sigmund Romberg's career. I also have "The Student Prince." This movie, "The Desert Song," was really fun to watch and filled with great music. The acting of some of these old singers is not as great as their singing, but if you like the old musicals the way I do, this is one of the best. My only regret is that so many of them are only available on VHS and have not been made into DVD format. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 141 Reviews | ## Images ![The Desert Song - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61KRfERvR9L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Who could hate this movie *by R***E on March 11, 2016* Who could hate this movie?

This was a well made movie going almost loosely along the lines as the light Opera of the 50 ies.of the same name. The songs and music were very good by both of lead actors. It had some action seans but most of the movie was built around the romance of the two lead characters and the desire to make peace between the desert tribes and the French. There was an attempt at comedy with a bumbling American reporter, but it fell short in my opinion. If you like 50 ies. musicals, this will be a must see. The format of the film fits right in with that eras movie style and the attempt to just entertain and give the viewers a fine evening out at the movies was obtained. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.es/products/12888638-the-desert-song](https://www.desertcart.es/products/12888638-the-desert-song) --- *Product available on Desertcart Spain* *Store origin: ES* *Last updated: 2026-04-26*
