Five Graves to Cairo

Rob and Duncan watch the 1943 film that promised to tell audiences the secret story of British victory in the desert.

That was not in any sense true, but unknown to the filmmakers, this movie would inspire a real D-Day operation.

More than that, it's an early Billy Wilder film, with all his trademark style. War movie? Spy story? Film noir? You decide.

Next week, Robert Aldrich's Attack!

Watch War Movie Theatre discuss 1917 LIVE at the Imperial War Museum on November 1! Tickets here: https://www.iwm.org.uk/events/podcast-live
