Beau Geste
November 9 @ 7:30 pm - 9:30 pm
The Vista Theatre presents a striking new 35mm print of the restored 1926 silent adventure Beau Geste. Herbert Brenon’s epic follows three British brothers who join the French Foreign Legion and find themselves facing brutal conditions and a sadistic commanding officer in North Africa, with Ronald Colman, Neil Hamilton, Ralph Forbes, and William Powell among the cast.
One of Paramount’s major successes of the silent era, Beau Geste combines sweeping spectacle, brotherhood, mystery, and military adventure in a film that later inspired numerous remakes, sequels, and parodies. The Vista’s restored 35mm presentation brings the nearly century-old production back to the theatrical setting for which its scale was originally designed.
