Synopsis
Beau Geste (1939) is William Wellman's desert adventure drama, free to watch online on iFILM. Gary Cooper leads, with Ray Milland and Robert Preston as his brothers.
When the priceless "Blue Water" sapphire vanishes from the Brandon household, the three Geste brothers each take the blame and slip off to the French Foreign Legion. Posted to Fort Zinderneuf, they land under sadistic Sergeant Markoff, played by Brian Donlevy, just as Tuareg raiders close in.
Adapted from P. C. Wren's novel, the film opens on one of old Hollywood's great mystery images — a fort manned entirely by dead men. Cooper underplays the part, and the quiet makes him all the more convincing. Stream Beau Geste (1939) online on iFILM.
