Another terrific film from 1939 (What was it about that year?).Gary Cooper, Ray Milland, Robert Preston, and Brian Donlevy star in this story about honor, duty, and redemption.
Great opening draws you into this French Foreign Legion adventure where three brothers combat the enemy and their sadistic officer. Sentimental ending ( I won't spoil it) is memorable.
There were two other versions I am aware of: a silent film version starring Ronald Colman and a '60s remake with Telly Savales. But this is the first one I saw and it has stuck with me.
