The best parts of the film are actually footage from the great Merriam Cooper's documentaries, Mideast and east and north African tribal peoples on the move and in wartime. These are before his part making King Kong.
The film was written around that footage, with Cooper and Rains as soldiers. But the film also included, for obvious box office reasons and to draw in a romance audience that was largely female, a predictable love triangle. This is dull, dull, dull. The female lead is not what many would call attractive, very awkward looking, though tastes certainly change.
Fast forward past the dull romance in the hospital..
