penjon-2 I fell in love with the Desert Song movie with Dennis Morgan & Irene Manning when I was young and years later I was a hairdresser and did Irene Manning's hair. She gave two of us operators a copy of the movie on a VHS tape and I have had it ever since. I am sure it would be illegal to copy it or sell it or anything else but when I see the comments of people who would love to see it again it frustrates me. It is not as clear as modern Technicolor but still a great movie and the music is wonderful;. I have no idea as to the added song or which one it was, but the film is still exciting to see and I am 78 years old. It is pure nostalgia and I with all of you would like to see it released to the public.......... Patricia

drsunnyalexander I saw The Desert Song when it first came in and begged my parents to take me back, again and again. I think I saw it about 3 times, which was probably all they could manage. Over the years, and they are many, I have wished to see this movie once again. Perhaps I would be disappointed seeing it as a senior opposed to the the memories of a child. But, I would like to be able to make that choice. There must be many out there like me, who has such special memories of this movie. The adventure, the singing, the romance, the patriotism! All winners. I would hope that what ever is keeping it from being played-and who really knows- that someone in power would consider the value of showing this movie once again.

mat000 I saw this movie when I was 18 years old in the service, 62 years ago, during WW2. I was really impressed. It was a wonderful movie, and I would give anything to see it again, now. Is there anything you can do to make this movie available, either on tape, or disc? Would gladly buy it at any price. It must be the one with Dennis Morgan and Irene manning. Please respond to mat000@peoplepc.com, or write or call. Thank you, Henry M. Nuspl3736 Gail Dr.Imperial, Mo 63052636-282-4927

amadeus-10 I saw this quintessentially sappy flick for the first (and only) time in March 1944 when I was an 18 year old infantryman in the US Army. Sort of reminded me of a Tarzan-type film with a desert instead of a jungle setting. No thundering herds of elephants and savage lions and tigers and bears (oh my!). In their place, camels, horses, and evil Arab tribesmen threatening poor Dennis Morgan and his minions.Whereas Tarzan would scream out "UNGAW-A-A" to summon his animal friends, in this flick a good guy would bellow out a minor-key riff of 4 notes -- AH-AHHH! AH-AHHH!. Then beyond the horizon and off-screen would come a thunderous male-voice response -- in perfectly voiced 2-part harmony. Then the sound of horses' hooves (camels', too? I can't remember)and again a hearty minor key response of AH-AHHH! AH-AHHH! -- as the good guys came to the rescue and Dennis Morgan crooned some totally inane lyric as the savage Berbers fled. (No wonder we all rooted for the Arabs)That's all I can remember. Time mercifully blots out the rest. All I remember is that stupid chant and the horses coming over the horizon. Then a cut to Dennis Morgan on his steed, waving the troops into the fray. This made such an impression on us GIs that for several weeks all one could hear in the barracks was the minor-key war cry: AH-AHHH! AH-AHHH! (And, of course, the appropriate response). We were all ready to join the French Foreign Legion. Instead a few months later, after the June 6, 1944 Normandy invasion, most of us ended up in France where there were no camels, alas. Only German tanks.
