Old footage, so-so story.
First let me say I like Anthony Quayle: That being said, I got "Storm of the Nile" and watched that first. To my surprise, "East of Sudan" was 60% footage from SotN, add in another 20% African stock footage and in some scenes the actors were just 'Blue screened' in front of old stock footage, it left little original footage.
Being an old 'Nile'/foreign legion fan this movie got only two stars from me. The second star was only because there is about 20-30 minutes Quayle and a cute (but short) story.
This was obviously a low budget movie and sadly it shows.
That being said, what original footage there was, was fairly well acted. Trust me when I say there are better movies out there in this genre.
Good Memories
I saw this movie when I was much younger. This brought back memories of the Saturday afternoon movie matinee. Thanks
