No 'Dawn' box yet, but these turned up.

I bought the Screenbound dvd of Five Graves to Cairo a few years ago. Good film. Bit of a slow start but once Rommel arrives the tension cranks up.

Here's what i said when i watched it. Hope you enjoy it as much as i.

Five Graves to Cairo (1943)

Billy Wilder's film is a wartime espionage thriller which sees Franchot Tone as the sole survivor of a British tank crew hole up in a near deserted Egyptian town where he's given refuge by the hotel owner. Unfortunately for Tone, Field Marshal Rommel (Erich Von Stroheim) turns up at the hotel with a tank division. Tone poses as a recently deceased waiter and attempts to infiltrate Rommel's inner circle and report his battle plans to the Allies.

A real twisty turny film and well worth a watch. Von Stroheim is excellent as Rommel and Franchot Tone proves very adaptable in a role that i won't spoil but involves agents and double agents galore.

Turned up today, been waiting about a month as it was from Australia mate.

Couldn't find a decent priced U.K copy, this was about £22 pound all in, and the covers quite spanking too.:woot:

Only ever seen the first, but the 2nd and 3rd have been on my radar for ages, just never got round to 'em.:cool:

Yeah, I thought it was excellent. Might give the new commentary a listen later cos I haven't listened to one in over two and a half years. Also really looking forward to Synchronic getting a blu ray release. A few of my mates saw it at Glasgow Frightfest and loved it.

Oooh, I forgot all about this release. Nice one.

From the Salvation/Redemption webstore, they threw in a free button badge as well :) I'll grab a couple more next month to try and fill up the Rollin collection, although not entirely interested in his late period films, anyone seen them and can vouch for them?
