In this film adaptation of Philip MacDonald's novel, the story involves a British patrol stranded in the Mesopotamia Desert during World War I. The men are trying, with great difficulty, to fend off Arab enemy forces when their commanding officer is killed. A sergeant (Victor McLaglen) takes over, but the patrol has no knowledge of its location–or even its mission–when they start their trek across the desert. They stumble onto an oasis where they hope to find rest, but snipers begin to pick off the men, and the religious ranting of Sanders (Boris Karloff) fills their ears. Finally, only two men remain alive–Sergeant Morelli (Wallace Ford) and Sanders–and the desperate fight for survival continues. Another John Ford masterpiece with interesting characters.

Cast: Charles Chaplin, Paulette Goddard, Henry Bergman, Chester Conklin, Tiny Sanford, Hank Mann, Stanley Blystone, Al Ernest Garcia, Murdock MacQuarrie, Richard Alexander, Louis Natheaux, Sammy Stein
This movie was written by, directed by, and stars Charlie Chaplin. It is the last movie of the "Little Tramp" and also Chaplin's last "silent" film–although Chaplin's voice is heard for the first time when he sings a song. The humor is visual and remains timeless as Charlie meets the modern industrial age head-on.
