Station Six-Sahara is a 1963 British-West German drama film directed by Seth Holt and starring Carroll Baker, Peter van Eyck and Ian Bannen.

Apart from Fletcher, a noisy jokester, Martin's co-workers include uptight British ex-major Macey and Santos, a silent Spaniard who prefers to be left to his work.

[2] Seth Holt said he was given the project by executive producer Gene Gutowski, saying "It was a sort of dirty film really but there was something in it that was quite interesting.

Then I learnt by accident that Bryan Forbes had originally brought this subject to CCC films's attention and had promised in the little writing in the contract to do a stint at the end.

The Hamburger Abendblatt of April 24, 1963 wrote: "The topic is basically banal: five men on an abandoned oil station in the desert are driven crazy with sex by a beautiful blonde woman who arrives suddenly.

How a newcomer to the small crew coldly gets involved in a showdown with the arrogant boss, how a macabre letter deal is concluded; that fits psychologically and seals the atmosphere.

"[7] The Lexicon of International Film wrote: "Not without skill, the director's realistic stylistic devices distract from the implausibility of the desert adventure.

"[8] The New York Times of November 12, 1964 wrote "With all due respect to Carroll Baker's all-too-visible charm as the ephemeral seductress who ruins a small oil-drilling outstation, Station Six Sahara would be better off without her. ...

Indeed, in the first half hour or so, there are very real odds for this British melodrama as a cynical, caustic close-up of desert boredom and petty friction. ...

[9] Derek Winnert wrote that the film has an "enjoyably lurid and melodramatic cocktail of sun, sea, sweat, and sleaze" and is "tingling with tension".
