THE BLACK TENT is a British wartime drama told in flashback for the most part. It's a slow-moving production that unfortunately focuses on romantic material for way too much of the running time, making what plays out quite the bore. It's a pity, because there are elements of interest in the narrative here, and at times it does get quite moving. The colour photography looks great; the supporting cast has many interesting faces including Andre Morell and Donald Pleasence, mostly playing Arab characters, bizarrely enough.
