A film, in serial form, that impressed me considerably, when I was child, living in Christchurch, N.Z. Shown approx. 15 min. duration (from memory) every Saturday morning at the Grand Theatre in Cathedral Square - it would finish at an exciting moment when you would be keen for the next week to go quickly so you could revisit the Grand (known in local slang as the "Bughouse") to learn how the scene was dealt with. The Grand no longer exists these days. It used to have a clock under the stage with a green numerical dial where everybody could always be aware of the time. The Desert Hawk was, to my mind, an exciting production of the times, well filmed, well produced and well acted. An adventure film, memory has dimmed faces and music themes, with time (made in 1944 but memory is of viewing it in the late 1940's,even possibly 1950-51) I would love to be able to relive the viewing pleasure I experienced way back then and I am grateful to IMDb for giving people the means to learn so much about movies from the database provided. Yours Sincerely, Peter Olo.
