15 Great War Movies (Nobody Ever Talks About)
10. Ice-Cold In Alex
Slow but nonetheless tense, 1958's Ice Cold in Alex is a British war thriller which boasts the best performance form veteran actor John Mills of Swiss Family Robinson fame.
Once more playing a castaway, though this time in far less funny straits, in this desert set thriller Mills is a beleaguered pilot attempting to corral together a crew of mismatched nurses and soldiers to escape the desert and finally enjoy his long-awaited ice cold beer.
Surprisingly slow for a thriller, this one works up serious tension during its runtime until, like the later Wages of Fear, the viewer is left wishing everyone involved could make it out alive and enjoy one more cold one.
