Beau Geste

Stunning new 35mm print from a gorgeous restoration!

Beau Geste thrums with action and drama as a trio of British brothers — future Oscar-winner Ronald Colman, Neil Hamilton forty years before he became Commissioner Gordon on TV's Batman, and the prolific Ralph Forbes — find themselves in the French Foreign Legion and at the mercy of a sadistic commanding officer (Noah Beery). William Powell shines in the supporting cast, eight years before he portrayed Nick Charles in the The Thin Man movie series. One of Paramount Pictures' most popular films of the 1920s, Brenon's epic spectacle inspired multiple sequels, remakes, and, eventually, parodies and, with this monumental restoration, can now reach modern audiences.
