In Ronald Colmans silent 1926 version and the more popular Gary Cooper edition of 1939, there were three Geste brothers; this time out there are only two, Americans Stockwell and McClure. They have joined the Foreign Legion after Stockwell took the rap for a crime he didnt commit, and now must suffer the wrath of the sadistic Savalas in the Legion. The film was directed and scripted by Douglas Heyes, who was smart enough to know he couldnt improve on William Wellmans 1939 version, so he made some changes in plot and emphasis, and put a great deal of care into the casting of secondary roles. Leo Gordon, Constantine, Malachi Throne, and Robert Wolders are especially good in their supporting parts. (official distributor synopsis)
