4.0 out of 5 stars Burt's last film noir, July 9, 2011
By
Norbert Warner "Bert warner" (Whitley bay) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Rope of Sand (DVD) I first saw this in 48, and it turned out to be Lancaster's last film noir. At the time the critics said it was far too violent, they didn't forsee the fure of movies. Apparently producer Hal Wallis wanted to recapture his success of CASABLANCA, even useing tow of it's stars, Paul Hendried, Peter Lorre and Claude Rains but this is far removed from that movie, less romantic and certainly more violent. Rains as usual gives an impeccable performance, Hendried makes a great villan, and Lorre is suitably sinister. But dispite this Lancaster dominates all his scenes. The fight scene is particularly good. A very good tough movie that still holds up today. After this Lancaster would try and change his film noir image completly with his next three movies, THE FLAME AND THE ARROW, MISTER 880 and VENGEANCE VALLEY, but I always remember those old film noirs with more than nostalgia

This review is from: Rope of Sand (DVD) this is my favorite burt lancaster movie. it is sort of a film noir set in the desert near a diamond mine. the whole cast is excellent especially claude rains. i hadn't seen this for many years, i thought it was forgotten, so thanks for releasing it.

5.0 out of 5 stars An unknown gem, September 9, 2011
By
Mo-Digga "tv on dvd addict" (Brooklyn, N.Y.) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Rope of Sand (DVD) I first saw this film in the '90's on AMC, when it aired only classic films. It's a Paramount Studio film which fell into the public domain and was never released on VHS or DVD. With a cast including Burt Lancaster, Claude Rains, Paul Henreid, Peter Lorre and Corinne Calvert, it's got to be good. A great action film set in South Africa. This story revolves around the diamond industry. So good, it was worth the 15 year wait.
