Experience the classic tale of Beau Geste as you’ve never seen it before! Marty Feldman (Young Frankenstein) makes his directorial debut with the absolutely absurd, positively Python-esque, The Last Remake of Beau Geste. When the coveted family sapphire is stolen by Beau (Michael York), who runs off to North Africa, it’s his “twin” brother Digby (Feldman) who’s put on trial. Once reunited, the Geste boys blunder through battle with the French Foreign Legion, followed closely behind by their greedy mother (Ann-Margret). Family bonds will be tested, deathbeds will be lain in, and lunch will be served!
“Its laughs come as much from the shock of discovery as from what’s being said or done. The Last Remake of Beau Geste, which has been rated PG, contains a lot of explicit sexual and anatomical references that, if they don’t go over the heads of youngsters, will probably strike them as the highest form of wit, mostly because they are consistently, often hilariously irreverent.” – Vincent Canby, The New York Times
