At the height of its renown, the French Foreign Legion was made up of men to a large regarded as the scum of the mould. It was a corrupt army posted to colonies in Northern Africa and Southern Asia...but its soldiers swore no allegiance to France, only to the legion and to each other. The legion asked no questions regarding a servant's olden times...nor did it offer much Dialect expect for his future. It was a hard MO = 'modus operandi' to put a later occur in sprightliness...

Lovely stuff
I think this is a terrific little movie, scandalously over-looked by the Academy (though since when did the Oscars actually reward quality?).
I loved the way the director was able to evoke the sights and sounds of the desert, some of the time I almost felt like I could feel the sand between my toes and the sun on my back! But Legionnaire is much, much more than this: the relationship between Jean-Claude and his Legion buddies was really inspiring.
I don't want to spoil it for anybody but I'm not ashamed to say that I cried like a baby at the end; tears of sadness, tears of joy. How many movies can touch you like that?
