Lion of the Desert (1980)

A film that cost 35 million dollars about the Italian invasion of Libya partially funded by the Libyan government has to be worth seeing - check out the above article (also stills). Review soon! More links and so on here Wiki here. The film bombed though it is now highly rated.
Biography of producer Moustapha Akkad who was tragically killed in 2005. He was working on a big budget movie on Saladin with Sean Connery which was going to be filmed in Jordan.
