The Desert Song

Saw this movie (many times) as a boy living on the lower east side of New York City. Excellent escapism and a wonderful introduction to semi classical music. Dennis Morgan was a very positive actor, equally convincing in a musical or flying a fighter plane in WWII China. He had a the range of vocal and dramatic qualities to thoroughly entertain.

The one scene with him riding the top of the dunes, calling his men to attack with a melodic battle cry (just approaching "high C") is a terrific way to start a movie. Irene Manning was a good match. Still remember their version of "One Alone" and the Riff's singing "All".

Sorry the movie can't be released, such chemistry is rare.
