WHAT’S
IT ABOUT THEN?
The French Foreign Legion has always had a high degree of mystique attached to it, with its endless tales of derring do and adventure in the desert - there have also been plenty of movies made about the legion from numerous versions of P.C. Wrens
|
landmark Beau Geste and even a mid sixties Carry On version; March or Die though, made in 1976, has to be one of the most brutally real looking.
It's the late 1910's and the first world war is over, Major Foster (the always excellent Gene
Hackman) and his suad are assigned the tasks of protecting an archeological expedition led by Max Von Sydow's Francois Marneau who is intent on uncovering a priceless tomb. Knowing that the last expedition to uncover the tomb was completely wiped out means Foster is less than keen to lead this one...
There's action aplenty and with the arrival of the beautiful Catherine
Denauve, the development of a love triangle involving Hackman and new recruit Marco Segrain (spaghetti western star Terence Hill).

March or Die was made in 1976 with a plentiful budget, it holds up surprisingly well today and repays amply with its stirring adventure plot.
