Dick Richards's intrepidly anachronistic Foreign Legion adventure has some good people in it -- the eternally smoldering, quirky Gene Hackman, the puckish, bright-eyed Terence Hill, and the wan, ghostly Catherine Deneuve, who glides about the screen in droopy hats and flaccid dresses. It has some good intentions, too -- an aestheticized, pensive, and unemotional narrative manner, and a downcast mood of lost innocence and soured romanticism. But it desperately misses the sort of inventive incident that makes up an enduring adventure story, and it remains a rather dull academic exercise. (1977) — Duncan Shepherd
