Product Description

 
The theft of an enormous gem, the Blue Water, sends the three notoriously adventuresome Geste brothers into the French Foreign Legion. Gary Coper, Ray Milland, and Robert Preston boldly play the three loyal siblings who have taken the rap to save the female culprit. Assigned to a desert command, they suffer cruelties under the heavy hand of Sergeant Markoff (Brian Donlevy) and then come upon a mysterious tragedy at their fort. Produced in a giant sweep with hard-edged realism by director William Wellman, this version of BEAU GESTE is the classic one, featuring fine turns from Cooper, Milland, and Preston as well as Donlevy and Susan Hayward. Based on the epic novel by Percival Christopher Wren, the film has been remade and parodied several times. Don't miss the beginning--the haunting opening sequence is one of the most famous in Hollywood history.

BEAU GESTE: A Grand Boy's Adventure Story.

Date of Review:  May 31, 2000
The Bottom Line: BEAU GESTE is a classic of the Aventure Film genre.
Review: I must have been eight years-old when first I saw William Wellman's Production of BEAU GESTE. I have never forgotten it. Charmingly quaint as parts of it look today, I still love this French Foreign Legion adventure, and look back fondly at the...

Date of Review:  Mar 1, 2000
Review: This movie stars Gary Cooper in the title role. "Beau Geste" is French for "gallant gesture," and Coop, as the title character, definitely lives up to his name.
