Rommel has the British in retreat on his way to the Suez Canal. All that stands in his way is Tobruk, held by a vastly out numbered force of Australian troops. Richard Burton leads these troops on daring raids against Rommel, keeping him off balance as they earn the nickname 'The Desert Rats'
right at the beginning of this clip is how i used to wake up my teen boys for school. i'd put a bagpipe CD in a stereo and set it at the bottom of the stairs and crank up the volume, then hit the " on " switch and yell up the stairs " Fix bayonets, come outa your holes you desert rats" !!! listening to the song "Waltzing Mathilda" at the end always brings a tear to my eyes. i've loved this movie for almost 50 yrs now!
