STAFF CORRESPONDENT
HOLLYWOOD, July 14. "The Desert Rat"—a film depicting the Anzac defence of Tobruk—is next on
Twentieth Century Fox's filming list.
It is intended to be an anti-dote to "The Desert Fox"— the picture which depicted the Nazi Field-Marshal Erwin Rommel as a likable charac-
ter.
The cast of "The Desert Rat" tentatively includes Michael Rennie and Robert Newton.
James Mason, who por-trayed Rommel in the "Desert Fox," will make a brief ap-pearance again as the German
Field-Marshal.
