Sea of Sand 1958 [x264-ac3-mkv] (oan)

http://www.imagebam.com/image/106b7642004802Sea of Sand is a 1958 war film starring Michael Craig, John Gregson and

Richard Attenborough. Other actors featured include Barry Foster,

Vincent Ball, Harold Goodwin, Ray McAnally and Percy Herbert.



Directed by Guy Green and written by Robert Westerby, the film is set in

North Africa during World War II and tells the story of a patrol of the Long

Range Desert Group (LRDG), commandos who drove long distances

behind enemy lines in the fight against Rommel's Afrika Korps. The film's

technical advisor was Bill Kennedy Shaw, who served as the group's

intelligence officer during the desert campaign.



The score was by Clifton Parker and was performed by the Sinfonia of

London under the musical direction of Muir Mathieson.



Many consider it to be a fairly accurate description of a typical LRDG

patrol. One glaring mistake however is the troops' use of Sten guns which

were never issued to or used by LRDG, who used either the SMLE .303

or the Thompson submachine gun.



It was filmed entirely in Tripolitania, Libya.PlotOn the eve of the Battle of El Alamein, Captain Tim Cotton leads a LRDG

patrol on a raid to destroy a German fuel dump located deep behind

enemy lines. After surviving a perilous journey, they arrive and destroy

the stocks of petrol, only to find a secret inside the depot. With their radio

smashed in a German ambush, they must return to base to report the

information while there is time for it to be acted upon.
