{"product_id":"0644827533725","title":"The Battle Of El Alamein","description":"No relation to the 1953 \u003ci\u003eEl Alamein\u003c\/i\u003e (beyond a common \"real life\" source), \u003ci\u003eThe Battle of El Alamein\u003c\/i\u003e was a French-Italian coproduction, largely lensed in Spain. Set during the titular desert battle of 1942, the film departs from expectation by concentrating on the Axis point of view. Though they mistrust one another, the German and Italian troops are forced to work shoulder to shoulder to ward off the British. And talk about revisionist history: Rommel (Robert Hossein) is the hero of the piece, and Montgomery (Michael Rennie) is the villain! \u003ci\u003eBattle of El Alamein\u003c\/i\u003e would make a fascinating triple feature with \u003ci\u003eFive Graves to Cairo\u003c\/i\u003e (1943) and \u003ci\u003eThe Desert Fox\u003c\/i\u003e (1953). Incidentally, the \"Calvin Jackson Padgett\" credited with the direction is really Giorgio Ferroni.","brand":"NOSTALGIA FAMILY VIDEO, INC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47095509352688,"sku":"0644827533725","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/0644827533725","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
