About Hotel Sahara
In World War II, desert hotel proprietors Emad and Yasmin are caught between the warring armies and have to constantly shift their political allegiance to whichever army happens to control the area.
Directed by Ken Annakin, Hotel Sahara leans on a strong ensemble — Yvonne De Carlo, Peter Ustinov, Bill Owen — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 1951.
