Steadfast as the stars

A 1939 film directed by William A. Wellman. Starring Gary Cooper, Ray Milland, Robert Preston, Brian Donlevy and Susan Hayward. Three brothers, who fifteen years earlier were suspected of a jewel thief, join French Foreign Legionnaires and they are up against the disciplinary rules, attacks by Tuaregs and the desert heat. Even by today’s standards, Beau Geste is a solid adventure piece.
