An example of the commercial ineptitude of Sydney Box's Gainsborough - take a solid bunch of actors playing recognisable types and put them in a stupid story. The Huggetts decide to emigrate to South Africa so they... get a truck and drive across the desert? What? Who does that?
They don't get further than Algeria. There's the balding son in law, a new girl playing his wife (Dinah Sheridan), an American diamond smuggler. Petula Clark sings, Susan Shaw looks hot, there's some Arabs and French Foreign legion forts.
The actors are fine. But its so stupid, the Huggetts driving across the desert.
