Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Ice Cold in Alex is a 1958 British World War II film based on Christopher Landon's 1957 novel of the same name, directed by J. Lee Thompson and starring John Mills, Sylvia Syms, Anthony Quayle, and Harry Andrews.It's about a bunch of British soldiers trying to outrun the German Afrika Korps in the North African desert in an ambulance after they're cut off from their column in the wake of Rommel's assault. The drama focuses on the interplay among the characters in their struggle to cross the desert alive rather than the war happening around them, although the latter provides an important framing device for their personal struggle.Possibly the first post-War film in which the Germans were not simply depicted as a faceless and valueless enemy. | |

Crossing the Desert | |
| Ice Cold in Alex / int_b8ba9b1f | comment |
Crossing the Desert: Probably the best Trope Codifier in the world. note The beer our heroes drink in the final scene is Carlsberg, whose ads famously used the phrase "Probably the best lager in the world". Became self-referential when Carlsberg used the clip seen in the page photo in their TV ads. | |
