	Author	Review
United States	Bosley Crowther The New York Times	"Those rugged, indomitable qualities which Humphrey Bogart has so masterfully displayed in most of his recent pictures (...) have been doubled and concentrated in 'Sahara'"	POS
United States	Dave Kehr Chicago Reader	"It's a sharp idea for a war movie, and it works nicely under Zoltan Korda's vigorous direction and Rudolph Mate's Eisenstein-flavored photography"	POS
United Kingdom	Time Out	"Watchable more for its strong cast than for its credibility or its pretensions"	NEU
United States	Variety	"[The script] is packed with pithy dialog, lusty action and suspense, and logically and well-devised situations avoiding ultra-theatrics throughout."	POS
United Kingdom	Adrian Turner Radio Times	"Shot by Rudolph Maté and scored by Miklos Rozsa, this boasts solid talent behind the camera and a lot of derring-do in front of it (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
