Tobruk-File

HERE IS  A WONDERFUL FIND...

It is the file on Rock Hudson's film "Tobruk". 

Here is a brief synopsis:

September 1942 - With Erwin Rommel's Afrika Korps on the march through Egypt, a British special forces unit, composed of German Jews who serve with the British despite the mutual resentment between both, kidnap a Canadian officer who is an expert topographer and who is held prisoner by the Vichy French in Algeria. The officer, Donald Craig, must negotiate a company of British and German-Jewish commandos through 800 miles of the Sahara to aide a pending amphibious landing against Tobruk's massive fuel storage base - a mission that sees one impediment after another, and which discovers an undetected German armored force ready to win the battle of Egypt.

Technical advice and assistance for the film were provided by the 40th Armored Division ("Grizzly") of the California Army National Guard.

This file contains approximately 120 pages and has storyboards from commericals during the film where

Rock Hudson owned the production company. It is just full of all sorts of paperwork, history, collectables.

AGAIN SEE AND FEEL WHAT OUR ROCK FELT AND SAW DURING THIS PERIOD OF HIS LIFE.
