Abstract | Ice Cold in Alex is a 1958 British war film set during the Western Desert campaign of World War II based on the 1957 novel of the same name by Christopher Landon. A group of British officers and nurses travel from Tobruk, Libya, to Alexandria, Egypt, as the German Afrika Korps advances. They meet a stranded man, who claims to be an Afrikaner, and he proves to be of immense help in navigating the vast and brutal Sahara. The British realize he is a German spy, but in Alexandria they claim him as a prisoner of war in gratitude for his help. Under the title Desert Attack, a shortened, 79-minute version of the film was released in the United States in 1961. |
