West of Suez, released in the United States as The Fighting Wildcats, is a 1957 British drama film directed by Arthur Crabtree and starring Keefe Brasselle, Kay Callard and Karel Stepanek. An adventurer is hired to assassinate the leader of an Arab movement advocating peace, but is unable to complete his mission.
Braselle was meant to direct as well as star but could not get a permit to do so from the British trade union, so producer Richard Gordon had to replace him with Arthur Crabtree.
Critical reception
TV Guide called it an "okay suspense story with a dull romantic subplot."
