An exciting tapestry of history coming alive under the great direction of Mustapha Al-Akkad…
“Lion of the Desert” stars Anthony Quinn as the real-life Beduin Leader Omar Mukhtar who fights with pride and courage, rage and anger Mussolini’s invading troops in the Libyan Desert…

Quinn (strong, confident, never broken) plays the charismatic Islamic Libyan fighter who commits himself to a lifetime war against Italian Colonialism: “We have stood against you for 20 years and with the help of God we will stay with you till your end!”

Enraged by the 20-year war carried on by Beduin patriots opposed to the Italian occupation, the arrogant Mussolini (Rod Steiger) – the first of Europe’s fascist dictators – orders his new military governor the ruthless Rodolfo Graziani (Oliver Reed) to crush and silence the Beduin rebellion by “whatever means” and capture their great leader Omar Mukhtar…

Mukhtar is forced to face his conviction and the power of Italy at its glorious height…

The film is based on the life of a brave resistance leader, a teacher of the Quran by profession… Mukhtar is a cunning warrior who masterminded the Libyan resistance… He stood against tyranny and oppression, and with the fire of his wisdom, he rallied his countrymen to liberation…

The film depicts the cruelty of Graziani’s coward acts: the massive killing rampage in Kufra… We watch the invaders attacking with war-planes, tanks, cannons and machine-guns the poor village, but we also see a fascinating portrayal of the heroic Libyan forces fighting the mighty Italian artillery with old rusted rifles, giving their life for their land and their convictions…

Syrian director Mustapha Al-Akkad captures the horrific methods of the Italian army holding the helpless population in concentration camps; isolating the warriors from their families; setting fire to their fields; closing their wells; raping their women; destroying their homes; controlling the country by hanging old men and women; shooting innocent civilians, and specially the capture of the ‘Old Lion’, a natural fighter against ‘educated’ officers…

With great special effects, excellent action sequences and with the splendor of the Sahara Desert, Akkad’s motion picture combines history with spectacle to create a moving drama of heroism and commitment…

A True Masterpiece
In the Fascist Italy Pre-World War II of Benito Mussolini (Rod Steiger), the cruel General Rodolfo Graziani (Oliver Reed) is directly assigned by Il Dulce to fight in the colonial war in Libya to vanquish the Arab nation. However, his troops are frequently defeated by the national leader Omar Mukhtar (Anthony Quinn) and his army of Bedouins. But the Butcher of Ethiopia and Libya uses a dirty war against the natives, slaughtering children, women and aged people, to subdue Mukhtar.

“Lion of the Desert” is an epic masterpiece that shows part of the cruel colonization of Arab population, this time showing the fascist army of Mussolini in Libya.

This movie is simply among the best I have ever seen, with magnificent direction, performances, dialogs, cinematography and music score by Maurice Jarre. The work of Moustapha Akkad is perfect and it is amazing the reality of the battle scenes in a time where the industry did not use computer to simulate them. He also entwines footages from archive with the realistic scenes.

Anthony Quinn and Oliver Reed give the performance of their lives and their duel is among best in the cinema industry, and supported by names such as Irene Paps, Raf Vallone, Rod Steiger and John Gielgud among others. My vote is ten.
