Five Graves to Cairo (1943) on Netflix

June 1942. Corporal John J. Bramble (Franchot Tone) is the sole survivor of a British tank crew after a major battle with Erwin Rommel's victorious Afrika Korps at the Battle of Gazala. Delirious, he stumbles across the North African desert into the ruins of the town of Sidi Halfaya, and into the Empress of Britain, a small, isolated hotel owned by Farid (Akim Tamiroff). The staff consists of just one Frenchwoman nicknamed Mouche (Anne Baxter), as the cook has fled and the waiter Davos was killed the night before by a German bombing raid.
