RlH outbreaks. Warner Bros, oI
course, may point out that people
do move that way under the desert
sun and that its cast, headed by
Dennis Morgan and Irene Manning,
was just trying to be realistically
relaxed.
"The Desert Song" has been
modernized in this technicolored
retelling. In time, it has been
brought down as far as 1899, and a
dirty Nazi scheme has been injected
into what originally was a melodious
mix-up between the French and the
Riff natives Of North Africa. The
music has been slightly revised and
four new songs have been added,
but the popular ones still will be
The Riff Song" "One Alone" and
desert Song" Morgan and Miss
Manning make a fine pair of voices
to sing them, the former Incl
dentally getting the singing role for
which he was brought to Hollywood
several years ago.
' Produced back in the days before
there were limitations on materials,
"The Desert Song" is virtually a
floral illustration of Hollywood flair
for scope and sweep. For it, War;
ners never hesitated to toss off
trans-Africa railroad, erect an
Arabian metropolis complete with
SiSowolk coloonc pofiyo ,,irbt c1,,hc
bazaars, market places. and hire
practically nation of swarthy
extras to give stature and fury to
Its native uprisings.
The actual battles, of which there
are several, are separated by long
stretches of mysterious plottings,
of comedy asides provided primarily
by the late Lynn Overman as a
newspapsrman who drinks gin fizzes
a foot tall, of night club interludes
which offer such varied entertain
ment as Morgan Manning music
and nautch dancing. You may not
think that all these are essential
elements of the story, but that is
where you and Warmers will just
have to differ.
1t. was part of the revision of the
original Harbach Hammerstein =
Romberg operetta to introduce Nor
gan into the action as strolling
American piano player. When his
wanderings lead him to the Riff
country, his American love of free
dom is piqued by the same spirit
among the natives. In an outWardly
casual, but inwardly intense, way,
he becomes the almost sainted lead
er Of the passionate natives who
think French colonial administra-
tion is a wicked thing.
The romantic conflict is created
when the rogueiSh American decides
that the new Paris singer is the girl
for him only to discover that she is
disposed toward the young French
colonel Bruce Cabot whose more
conventional methods of courtship
she prefers. In the end, of course,
she comes around to the opinion that
the swashbuckling American is her
type despite his somewhat garish
