Trivia
The Steel Lady in the title is an American M-24 Chaffee light tank dressed up to resemble a WWII German tank.

Goofs
When the engines are turned off, and the plane finally comes in for a "wheels-Up" skiing landing on the sand, very little g-forces are shown by the cast when the plane touches down. Furthermore, in the dialog between the crew, it is stated that they would never be able to fly out because the nose of the plane was buried in the sand. The very next scene has the plane sitting in a normal stance as if it had landed with the wheels-down and the nose in the air clear from sand.

A great adventure yarn for it's time.

The previous review is ridiculous. This was a fascinating adventure yarn that had me riveted when I saw it at age 12. It is about a plane crash in the desert where the survivors discover a buried WWII tank after a storm exposes the turret. The idea of fixing up a tank that has been in the desert for 10 years with the remnants of a plane crash, (oil gas, parts,) is totally possible. Our government stores planes, tanks, trucks etc. in the desert because they do not rust or deteriorate. I have not been able to see it since as it is not available anywhere, as far as I know. For a '50s adventure movie it is great.
