April 5, 2026… #movieoftheday is The Desert Fox (full movie) (1951).
“The Desert Fox (released in the United Kingdom as Rommel—Desert Fox ) is a 1951 American Twentieth Century-Fox biographical, war film directed by Henry Hathaway and starring James Mason in the title role of German field marshal Erwin Rommel in World War II . The script is based on the book Rommel: The Desert Fox by brigadier Desmond Young who served in the British Indian Army in North Africa.
“The film played a significant role in the creation of the Rommel myth which held that Rommel was an apolitical, brilliant commander, opposed Nazi policies and was a victim of the Third Reich because of his participation in the conspiracy to remove Adolf Hitler from power in 1944.
“The black-and-white format facilitated the use of large sections of actual documentary footage from World War II throughout the film. Finnish president and field marshal Carl Gustaf Emil Mannerheim's personal Mercedes-Benz 770 , a gift received from Hitler, was used as a prop car during the film's shooting.” - more at Wikipedia
