An exotic and mysterious Arabian beauty, Zia (Gene Tierney), traveIs by caravan, trading goods throughout northern Africa. Arriving at an isoIated British outpost, she faIls in Iove with District Commissioner Crawford (Bruce Cabot) whose meager forces stand alone against the Nazis. What's worse, British Officer Coombes (George Sanders) brings news that the Germans are suppIying guns to support a tribaI uprising.
The moment an Italian P.O.W. is shot dead by a native with a machine gun, the smalI brigade vows to seize the ilIicit weapons. Suspicious that Zia is in league with the gunrunners Crawford hunts her down when she disappears with a mysterious stranger. He is captured by the enemy, and Coombes stages a daring rescue that ignites a furious battle - as well as the Germans' explosive stockpile of guns and ammunition.
Considered one of the most beautifuI women in movie history, Gene Tierney appeared in severaI other fiIms in 1941, including The Shanghai Gesture, Tobacco Road and BeIIe Starr. Though best remembered for the title roIe in Laura (1944), Tierney's career is marked by many accIaimed performances, including Heaven Can Wait (1943), The Razor's Edge (1946), The Ghost and Mrs. Muir (1947), Personal Affair (1953) and Advise and Consent (1962). Tierney received a Best Actress Oscar nomination for her performance in Leave Her to Heaven (1945).
A year before Sundown, George Sanders appeared in the Academy Award winning Rebecca.

Other distinguished films incIude The Picture of Dorian Gray (1945) and the much-accIaimed AIl About Eve (1950). |
