The Last Remake of Beau Geste
Directed by Marty Feldman
Produced by Universal Pictures
A comedic, adventure-driven parody of the Foreign Legion tale that prioritizes irreverent humor and spectacle over dramatic weight or introspection.
Brothers Beau, John and Digby Geste join the Foreign Legion, where they fall under the rule of tyrannical Sergeant Markoff. Beau and John are assigned to Fort Zinderneuf, where Markoff tries to break their spirit, aware of a dark family secret concerning a fabulous jewel one of them carries. As tensions rise, Arabs attack the fort and rivalries must be thrown aside in a desperate battle for life.
