Timbuktu (1959)

This review is on Timbukti from 1959 which stars: Victor Mature, Yvonne De Carlo, George Dolenz, John Dehner, Henry Hull and is directed by Jacques Tourneur.

In 1940's Timbuktu, a colonel and his beautiful wife arrive to conflicts between their French garrison and Tuareg rebels. An American mercenary sets his eyes on the colonel's wife, while a kidnapped holy man must be returned to bring peace.



This is a MGM Limited Edition Collection release and has pretty good video and audio quality. The only special feature is the original trailer. The film in presented in b&w, Widescreen and runs for about 91mins (1hr and 31mins).

I would give this film a 6/10 and the DVD a 3/5.
Overall this is a good DVD release and is a film I recommend.
