Drei Fremdenlegionäre (1939)
31KDrei Fremdenlegionäre: Directed by William A. Wellman. With Gary Cooper, Ray Milland, Robert Preston, Brian Donlevy. Three adopted English brothers join the French Foreign Legion in North Africa, after one of them steals their adoptive family’s famous heirloom sapphire.
“This fine film wears exceedingly well more than 60 years after it was made. The story of a jewel with a haunted past, a trio of gallant brothers, a beautiful girl and the French foreign Legion make for for a mighty entertaining diversion. Brian Donleavyu0026#39;s riveting Oscar performance, as brutal Sargent Markoff, alone is worth the price of admission. Excellent acting all around From Gary Cooperu0026#39;s Beau Geste, his two stalwart u0026#39;brothersu0026#39; played by Ray Milland and Robert Preston to that of J. carrol Naish as the u0026#39;human hyenau0026#39; Rassinoff and Albert Dekker plays a menacingly mutinous legionaire. A great story of love and loyalty set in a rousing adventure film. A must see.”
