PLOT
A World War I British Army patrol is crossing the Mesopotomian
desert when their commanding officer, the only one who knows
their destination is killed by the bullet of unseen bandits.
The patrol's sergeant keeps them heading north on the assumption
that they will hit their brigade. They stop for the night at an
oasis and awake the next morning to find their horses stolen,
their sentry dead, the oasis surrounded and survival difficult.
En el transcurso de la Primera Guerra Mundial, una patrulla cruza el desierto de Mesopotamia.
Al frente va el oficial británico al mando, a quien un disparo desde el horizonte reduce mortalmente.
El fallecido era el único del pelotón que conocía la misión a emprender y la ruta.
Perdida, la patrulla, ahora al mando de un sargento, deambulará por las arenas hostiles acompañada por el terror,
pues el invisible enemigo árabe va matando, uno a uno, a los miembros del cada día más reducido grupo

Mordant Hall, NY Times, April 2, 1934:
Victor McLaglen, Reginald Denny, J.M. Kerrigan and Others in the Picture, 'The Lost Patrol.'
In "The Lost Patrol," a picture now sojourning at the Rialto, women are conspicuous by their absence. It is an audible adaptation of Philip MacDonald's novel "Patrol," which was exhibited here in silent film form several years ago. The present production is highly effective from a photographic standpoint, but the incidents are often strained.
This offering, however, possesses an impressive conception of the agony of thirst and also of the scorching heat endured by the British cavalrymen when they lose their bearings in the Mesopotamian desert. In an opening scene the sole commissioned officer is killed by an unseen Arab sharpshooter, leaving a sergeant, acted by Victor McLaglen, in charge of eleven men.
As the men trudge over the undulating sands, leading their tired horses, they make the most of the little water remaining in their flasks. Then suddenly they see trees in the far distance and experience tells them it may be only a mirage. Nevertheless they stagger on and on until they discover that they are actually nearing a welcome oasis, and soon they arrive at the spot, where they enjoy water to their hearts' content and dates; also the shade of the trees. What's more, there is an abandoned mosque.
The sergeant, a disciplinarian, talks of leaving the next day, still not knowing what direction to take. A soldier named Brown declares that it is a pity to leave such a paradise, and another named Quincannon scoffs at the word "paradise" and terms the spot the "devil's back yard." Then there is Sanders who is given to reading and quoting the Bible. Eventually it is revealed that he is mentally unhinged.
Granting that the members of this patrol are terribly fatigued, it is scarcely convincing when Arabs sneak up on them in the middle of the night, kill a sentry and steal all the horses. The desert natives never seem to miss. A rifle crack is heard and a British soldier crumples up, and so it goes until the last survivors are the mad soldier Sanders, acted by Boris Karloff; Morelli, a trooper, and the sergeant. They hear an airplane overhead and it looks as though it would pass them by, but the pilot returns and lands. The pilot gets out of the cockpit, and as he takes a step forward a bullet from an Arab strikes him through the heart.
In the end the only one of thirteen left to tell the tale is the sergeant, who does succeed in using a machine-gun taken from the airplane to advantage on the natives.
It is a pity that the dialogue is too forced and often far from natural in the circumstances, even granted that several of the men desired to set an example by showing their coolness.
Mr. McLaglen gives a praiseworthy account of himself. Joseph M. Kerrigan is splendid as Quincannon. Brandon Hurst is believable as a corporal, a man of many years' army service. Sammy Stein is impressive as a gallant Jew. Wallace Ford as Morelli is called upon to harp too much on the idea of his being a Jonah. Reginald Denny does expert work as a gentleman soldier, who found the death he wished for.

La duración es la misma que el ripeo del post inicial, por lo que es de esperar que los subtítulos encajen bien (en todo caso, tal vezl algún delay; cuestión de décimas).
