Watch Hotel Sahara

Hotel Sahara is a 1951 British film set in the Libyan Desert, directed by Ken Annakin and stars Yvonne de Carlo, Peter Ustinov and David Tomlinson. The film is an adaptation of a play by Valerie Taylor. The film is set during World War II and takes place at a hotel located in the Libyan desert. The hotel is run by Emad (Ustinov), an Arab hotelier, and his French wife, Gabrielle (de Carlo). The hotel is a popular stopover point for British troops who are traveling through the desert towards Tripoli.

The story begins with a group of British soldiers arriving at the hotel. Among the soldiers is Captain Pugh (Tomlinson), a stereotypical British officer who is pompous and arrogant. Captain Pugh is determined to make the hotel a model of British efficiency and order, much to the irritation of Emad and Gabrielle.

One day, a German pilot crashes his plane in the desert and is taken captive by the British soldiers. The German pilot, Lieutenant Schleutter (Richard Wattis), is taken to the hotel to be interrogated. However, while being interrogated, Schleutter sees Gabrielle and falls in love with her. Gabrielle is initially repulsed by Schleutter but gradually begins to develop feelings for him.

Meanwhile, Emad is secretly a spy for the Germans and is passing valuable information to his contacts. When the British discover that Emad is a spy, they arrest him and take him away for trial. However, Emad manages to escape from custody and decides to flee to the German lines.

The rest of the film is a tense battle of wits between the British soldiers and Emad, who is trying to make his way across the desert to the Germans. The climax of the film sees Emad being pursued by the British soldiers and the Germans at the same time. Gabrielle, who has now fallen completely in love with Schleutter, is torn between her loyalty to her husband and her desire to be with Schleutter.

Overall, Hotel Sahara is a well-directed and well-acted film that presents an interesting story of love and betrayal set against the backdrop of World War II. The film is not without its flaws, however, and some of the plot twists may seem predictable to modern audiences. Nonetheless, Hotel Sahara is a solid film that is definitely worth watching if you are a fan of classic British cinema.
