SUDAN

Original British 17 inch x 11 inch Trade Advertisement from Kinematograph Weekly for the 1945 John Rawlins Adventure SUDAN starring Maria Montez, Jon Hall, Turhan Bey and Andy Devine.

Young, lovely Naila becomes queen of the ancient Egyptian kingdom of Khemis when her father is killed in a slave revolt. Continuing her penchant for going incognito among the people, she seeks out rebel leader Herua. But through palace treachery, she herself is captured and enslaved. After various adventures, she finds herself rescued by (and attracted to) the very rebel she was seeking. Will gratitude or revenge win out?
