Dr Burnet, an eminent archaeologist, sets out for North Africa to search for the lost tomb of Marcus Manilius, said to contain the priceless golden mask of Moloch. It soon becomes clear, however, that two crooked fortune-hunters are also seeking the mask, and a desperate and deadly race across the desert beginsโ€ฆ

This grippingly dramatic adventure stars Eric Portman as a scholar who encounters deception and danger as he crosses the Sahara in search of the fabled tomb of a Roman general. Co-starring Oscar-winning character actor Van Heflin, featuring lush cinematography from Oswald Morris and solid direction from Jack Lee โ€“ best-known for A Town Like Alice and the genre-defining The Wooden Horse โ€“ South of Algiers is featured here in a brand-new transfer from original film elements, in its as-exhibited theatrical aspect ratio.

The British Film

The British Film collection was launched by Network Distributing in April 2013 as part of a five-year plan to release over 450 vintage British films through a deal with Studiocanal, one of Europeโ€™s leading distribution and production companies. Many of the films have never been available to own and will benefit from new transfers, affirming Network Distributingโ€™s commitment to classic British cinema.

Titles include significant works from studios including Associated Talking Pictures, Ealing Studios, London Films, British Lion, Associated British Picture Corporation and EMI from the Studiocanal archive.
