The Last Remake of Beau Geste
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Last Remake of Beau Geste is a 1977 comedy film starring, directed and co-written by Marty Feldman.
The plot is loosely based on that of Beau Geste, a frequently-filmed story of brothers and their adventures in the French Foreign Legion. The Last Remake of Beau Geste is a satirical take on this story, featuring humour based heavily upon wordplay and absurdity. Feldman plays Digby Geste, the awkward and clumsy "identical twin" brother of Michael York's Beau, the dignified, aristocratic swashbuckler. The cast features Ann-Margret as their adoptive mother, Peter Ustinov as their commanding officer, and Spike Milligan, James Earl Jones, Avery Schreiber, Terry-Thomas, Trevor Howard, Henry Gibson, Roy Kinnear and Ed McMahon.
