I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

If this was "Like Sands in the hour glass, so is the waste of your time?" Not really, but it's silly, harmless fun that has to be seen to be believed. Handsome Richard Arlen and lovable fat man Andy Devine stow away aboard a boat and end up in the middle of the desert "where all the sand ends up after Bob Hope cleans his spinach." I never quite got that gag in "Road to Morocco", but it makes a heck of a lot more sense than the point of this pre- war expose of stereotypical silliness that also co-stars Maria Montez in a real do nothing part.The actual female lead is Linda Hayes, moving to an American built city in the middle of nowhere that a desert sheik (Turban Bey) wants to take control of through force. Anyone who can throw a knife into a wooden door and pull it out as if it was only stuck in a brick of cheese (not wood) deserves a medal. Devine becomes a bit too much to take after a while, especially when he starts singing. Ancient proverbs add to the fun as Devine continues to make a fool of himself is a perfect comeuppance for his well meaning obnoxiousness. Grateful that it's under an hour, over and out.
