Summary:
"The year is 1942. Along the barren North African coast where war has turned towns into smoking ruins, Captain Anson... , a commanding officer in the Royal Army Service Corps, is tired and thirsty. Separated from his unit while evacuating Tobruk, Anson must navigate a dilapidated ambulance with desperate passengers across perilous, enemy-patrolled terrain. Hundreds of miles away in Alexandria, safety and an ice cold beer await. Nominated for four BAFTA Awards and winner of the FIPRESCI Prize at the 1958 Berlin International Film Festival, Ice Cold in Alex remains one of the most gripping war epics ever made"--Container.
