Lo squadrone bianco / White Squadron (1936) DVD5
on March 11th, 2016 at 08:05
Filmed on location, Lo squadrone bianco follows the squadron of the title, as it penetrates into the Libyan desert, and battles partisan forces. In long, stately scenes, the vastness and beauty of the desolate terrain is depicted, as the columns of soldiers and their camels slowly make their way through the forbidding landscape. Leading the squadron is a hardboiled and disciplined Captain (Fosco Giachetti); and joining him on the mission is a younger, broken-hearted, and newly transferred officer (Antonio Centa). The film shows, how the two men gradually come to understand and respect each other, and how duty takes precedence over private concerns.
