Peter Ustinov, Yvonne De Carlo and David Tomlinson star in this classic British comedy farce.
You have to pity poor Mr Emad (Peter Ustinov). All he wants to do is to run his luxury hotel. Unfortunately for him, the Hotel Sahara is located in the middle of the Western Desert - and World War Two is raging all around him!
As the fortunes of war ebb and flow, different armies commandeer the Hotel Sahara almost on a daily basis - and Mr Emad must make friends with them all. First, it's the Italians - and suddenly the hotel is displaying portraits of Mussolini and resounding with opera. Then the British arrive - and it's tea and marmalade for breakfast and portraits of Winston Churchill on the staircase.
They disappear when the Germans invade and now it's all 'Heil Hitler!' and pictures of the Fuhrer...
Mr Emad finds himself tiptoeing through a minefield of loose loyalties, amorous officers and booby-trapped bathrooms, all the while trying to protect the virtue of his wild and tempestuous fiancée Yasmin (Yvonne De Carlo).
Somehow, against all the odds, he seems to be succeeding - until the British and the Germans both decide to occupy the hotel simultaneously, with both sides disguised as Arabs!

The old fashioned ways of paying are a bit more of a hassle for you but mean I can offer this item for the lowest price I possibly can. Card payments are very expensive so I prefer the old fashioned methods of payment. And let's face it, the good old fashioned cheque - well nothing is more secure than that.
As of June 2011 this is an out-of-print title and has been for at least a year. It is such a shame it's deleted as it is a popular film. There was talk a few months back that it was going to be re-issued but so far nothing has come of it. I'll keep you posted as and when there are definate details.
Well, the rumoured re-release of a year or so ago failed to materialise (until 2015).
