You've read the (Prune) book, now see the movie!

Various shots of armoured cars crossing the desert and entering the gate of Fort Rutbah. Pan around the fort which is littered with debris, it is a typical old style desert fort and ramparts surrounding a square courtyard. M/S of Allied troops removing the white flag that had been left flying over the fort by the retreating enemy. Various shots of Arabs who live at Rutbah emerging from their hiding places, we see them being interrogated by British intelligence officers. Various shots of the debris that litters the fort, including saucy pin ups stuck to inside of crate.
