Beau is the youngest of three brothers who fall into an ethical dilemma when their aunt resorts to stealing valuable jewelry from the family's collection to pay off her home. Beau takes the blame for the crime and, before he can be put in jail, flees the country, with his brothers John (Ralph Forbes) and Digby (Neil Hamilton) in tow. The Geste Brothers eventually join the French Foreign Legion, where they suffer under the tyrannical leadership of the cruel Sgt. Lejaune (Noah Beery Sr.). Unknown to Beau, Lejaune is in cahoots with men who want to capture the Geste Brothers and bring them to justice, but when Arab forces attack the Legion compound, the valiant Gestes fight with such bravery that even Lejaune is impressed with their selfless courage. It's said that Ronald Colman considered his performance in Beau Geste the finest work of his career; lip readers might get a chuckle out of some of Noah Beery Sr.'s non-subtitled dialogue, which today would have pushed the film into an R rating if it were audible.Please ask any and all questions prior to bidding/buying.I do NOT and will NOT sell copies, scans or jpegs of this or any item.All payment is due within 7 calendar days of the auction close, with no exceptions.Per new ebay regulations, PayPal is the only accepted payment method.This will be shipped to you flat, safe, sturdy and secure.Insurance is optional but suggested for all US orders as we can not file any claim for loss or damage with it.FREE Shipping and Handling within the USA will be via USPS Mail.We ship WorldWide!Multiple lobby card purchases can ship together for postage savings.Shipment outside the USA will be via insured Priority International Mail.The cost of air mail shipping and handling to Canada is $19.The cost of shipping to anywhere else in the world is $27.Insurance is required and additional for all international orders.
