100th Anniversary | New 4K Restoration | Live musical accompaniment by Donald Sosin and Joanna Seaton

A trio of British brothers — played by future Oscar® winner Ronald Colman, Neil Hamilton 40 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 — and awarded the Medal of Honor by Photoplay magazine as one of 1926’s best movies, the year before the Academy Awards® arrived — Herbert Brenon’s epic spectacle inspired multiple sequels, remakes and, eventually, parodies. With this monumental restoration, the film can now reach modern audiences.
