So a guy like Boldini might be popular in some quarters even if he's an informer. Remember there are no women to be had anywhere near where these guys are stationed. There are some definite homoerotic overtones in his performance and watch Mauro's scenes with Savalas. One interesting part is that of David Mauro playing Boldini the snitch among the men to Savalas. The last stand with troop at Fort Zinderneuf follows along the paths laid out by the more classic versions of Beau Geste. There are some cryptic hints in some of the conversation. We never do know exactly why the brothers or at least Stockwell is in the Legion as McClure is ostensibly along for the ride. Later on Stockwell's brother Doug McClure joins him and they are unsuccessful in hiding the fact they are brothers.

Guy Stockwell goes first and winds up in a post where the ultra-sadistic Sergeant Major Telly Savalas holds sway. The third brother was dropped as well as the entire story line about just why the brothers are in the French Foreign Legion. No big box office names are in this film just journeyman players who know their trade. This third film version of Beau Geste has its place in film history though it can't be compared to the star versions with Ronald Colman in 1927 and Gary Cooper in 1939.
