Told against the sweeping panoramas of the Sahara desert, this star-studded epic features an exoticmix of action, suspense and romance. Famed for its 'stunning (The Hollywood Reporter) location... This description may be from another edition of this product.
Who thinks up the character names? Joe January (John Wayne) drifter, Dita (Sophia Loren) of ill repute, and Paul Bonnard (Rossano Brazzi) bible thumper, team up to look for a lost city and possibly a lost treasure. Paul has a map, Joe knows the territory, and Dita is fun to look at. There are a few inconsistencies, and maybe not the best music, but you can get lost in the story and have fun speculating as to what is happening next.
When they get to their destination, they find more than a city. They find themselves, and it isn't pretty.
So who gets what? Is there really a treasure? And just who is the good guy?
See another John Wayne, not as a cowboy, in “The Sea Chase” (1955), two years before this movie.
