Movie Reviews

Synopsis:
BEAU GESTE is the oft-made adventure tale that tells the story of three brothers who "confess" to stealing a rare gem in order to save the real thief. The brothers-in-arms battle the elements and their enemies to live long enough to clear the family name.

Notes:
Markoff, played by Brian Donlevy, was originally to have been named Lejeune. Percival C. Wren's source novel was filmed once before, in 1926, and once after, in 1966.
