About this listen
In this episode of Rosie the Reviewer, we discuss Ice Cold in Alex (1958), directed by J. Lee Thompson and based on the 1957 novel by Christopher Landon. Set during the North African campaign of World War II, the film follows a British officer, his NCO, two nurses, and a mysterious South African hitchhiker as they attempt to reach Alexandria in a battered ambulance.
It's a tense adventure film, with the desert as the main antagonist and an ambulance that feels like a character rather than a vehicle. And of course, the film has a famous promise: an ice‑cold beer waiting at the end of the road.
