Raiders of the Desert Audience Reviews

Kattiera Nana I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.
AutCuddly Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,
Derry Herrera Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.
mark.waltz If this was "Like Sands in the hour glass, so is the waste of your time?" Not really, but it's silly, harmless fun that has to be seen to be believed. Handsome Richard Arlen and lovable fat man Andy Devine stow away aboard a boat and end up in the middle of the desert "where all the sand ends up after Bob Hope cleans his spinach." I never quite got that gag in "Road to Morocco", but it makes a heck of a lot more sense than the point of this pre- war expose of stereotypical silliness that also co-stars Maria Montez in a real do nothing part.The actual female lead is Linda Hayes, moving to an American built city in the middle of nowhere that a desert sheik (Turban Bey) wants to take control of through force. Anyone who can throw a knife into a wooden door and pull it out as if it was only stuck in a brick of cheese (not wood) deserves a medal. Devine becomes a bit too much to take after a while, especially when he starts singing. Ancient proverbs add to the fun as Devine continues to make a fool of himself is a perfect comeuppance for his well meaning obnoxiousness. Grateful that it's under an hour, over and out.
