WE'RE IN THE LEGION NOW(1936)
This could have well been an Abbott and Costello
or Hope and Crosby vehicle! Two mobsters run off
to avoid the cops and mob bosses and wind up in
the Foreign Legion! And the Legion has never
been the same! B-
From a reviewer at IMDb.com:
In Paris on a bender, debonair Reginald Denny
(as Dan Linton) wakes up next to bald-headed
Vince Barnett (as Spike Conover). Mr. Denny
notes that Mr. Barnett has taken the bride's
side of the bed. The heterosexual pals are
American gangsters on the run, and join the
"French Foreign Legion" to hide out from a
mob boss. They needle each other, and admire
the same beautiful women. First up are blonde
sisters Esther Ralston (as Louise) and Claudia
Dell (as Yvonne).
After being stationed in Morocco for some
time, Denny and Barnett begin to date entertainer
Eleanor Hunt (as Honey Evans), who has those
eye-catching seams running up the back of her
thighs. Possibly noticing the movie wasn't
working as a comedy, it becomes a serious
drama when Denny and Barnett are sentenced to
labor camp. Then, they find themselves playing
dramatic war heroes. It's directed by silent
screen star Crane Wilbur, in long gone
"Magnacolor".
