These black and white movies bring fond memories of Saturday afternoons.
My dad loved legionnaire films as a kind because of Gary Cooper in "Beau Geste". I suspect he might have seen this as a child. Worth my watching for rhe nostalgia. Thanks.
One of the best Legion films is "March or Die" with Gene Hackman.
Love Beau Geste. This is my first time whatching this version. Entrancing. I remember watching the 1960's version with my mom.
It's about the French Foreign Legion that's all I need to know thanks for posting.
It was a B movie made for 1930's kids. The fact that it was so cheesey makes it all the better.
Filmed at Vasquez rocks just outside Los Angeles on the way to the high desert if Palmdale . Vasquez was a Mexican bandit active around those parts around 1850s to 1870s. Caught and hanged sometime mid 1870s. Rocks named for him, main hideout. Lived near there when I was a kid , really a cool place , lots of caves , cracks, ravines to play in.
They neglected to cover Stan & Ollies participation. I guess they were in a different division, on another mission.
😝 All I can think about is being a fly on the wall during the daily rushes when the film maker showed the studio owner the scene with the song dub. Wow! Thanks for putting it up. Lost Patrol was of this ilk...one of my favorites
Fantastic marx playset 1965
I have an old library book my dad checked out in 1937, it has Beau Geste, Beau Sabreur and Beau Ideal.
My dad was 17 when he " Checked out " this book. It's stamped inside " Property of Lincoln high school. Seattle."
Stamped " June 8, 1937.
RIP dad, 1920-1993.
Thanks so much again for all the movies you post. They make my day!!
I love these Beau Geste period films.
My great-uncle went across Sahara with them in 1950's.
Good movie, thanks for posting it for us!
Great movie thanks sorted my night out as usual hot whiskey smashing movie then goodnight and sleep contented Tommy from Belfast
French foreign legion still in action today(mali, mauratania, afghanastan) with american volunteers!
You mean with the American approval. Politics is a dirty and a savage game.
@@sonnykay3594 americans have been in the legion since 1915, 500 so far. They are allowed to join like other forigners because they swear alligence to the legion not france.
A good movie from that era
I love French Foregin legion films, my mum like Beau Geste too. - she even named one of her sons after one of the brothers1
It really is uncanny how the deserts of French Morroco look exactly like Nevada & Southern California isn't it?
well now i'm just feeling so disillusioned.. i was think it was the other way around lol
Odd.
The “Best Worse War Film” ever made 5* 👍
Anybody else watching this because of that movie "Secondhand Lions"?
B movie that might have been excellent had it had a director who had the faintest idea about war. Machine gun fires; only 2 men drop dead. He cannot have seen the havoc in the Great War; for all that an entertaining yarn, that must have made any soldiers watching it, smile..
Maybe the machine gunner was a lousy shot.
Grizzled veteran soldiers don’t behave like actors… just saying.
Seems that Mugsy is doing an imitation of WC Fields?
Ahhhh, geeeez, maybe it would be a good idea to not wear a woolen overcoat in the desert heat and sun if you have to march on foot every where you go.
there never was a bad legionnaire movie
anyone who thinks this movie even resembles Beau Geste has never seen Beau Geste
17 to 40 years old what about us 50 year olds we can still pull a trigger
23:51 That’s Kemmerick! All Quiet On The Western Front.
That's the Cpt Kirk rock.
The Gorn fight rock shows up in this ?.
That rock is famous because of that.
Hello, my name is João, i am making a RUclips video about French Foreign Legion during 1850s , can i use this?
You don't see Hotchkiss guns very often.
In 1937 you did. The Hotchkiss was *the* heavy machine gun of the Maginot Line *. . .*
The lip syncing during the songs ;)
Where are Stan and Olly?😂
It’s just a movie
Odd looking Apache warriors.
The un-song army which the military history denies of its existence ! But good for good for nothing guys and adventures
Best part was the opening song, christ, if ever a film could set you to sleep
Give it a break. The film was intended for an audience of boys from 6 to 16 in the late 1930's as a second or third afternoon or weekend matinee feature. It does what it was intended to do. Entertain it's intended audience within budget. Wouldn't it be great if the current film and TV/cable/Internet people knew how to do that?
@@brianmccarthy5557 it didnt
march or die
.
Laurel & Hardy, " The flying Deuces " is wwway better than this.
Stan & Ollie join the Legion .
This is bad acting at its best.

lo 5 short years the female dancers go from a p;lum to a prune
Pre Woke: French good guys-Arabs bad guys
Post Woke: Arabs good guys- French bad guys
I'm quite certain that such considerations are not limited to French vs, Arabs, but have more to do with colonizers vs. indigenous populations.
What a load of nonsensical guff; the "battle scenes" have to be some of the worst I've seen!
I can see the whole point of putting this vid up for people to see went right over your head.
@@bobwhite8440 says you.
Since Arabs sorta invented modern math, they’re somewhat confused by the term “two hands twice.”
LOL that was pretty funny.
