Beau Geste is a 1924 novel by P. C. Wren, which has been adapted to film several times.
Plot
Although minor plot points separate the versions, all of the versions share a common element of a stolen gem, which one of the Geste brothers, Michael "Beau" Geste, is thought to have stolen from his adoptive family. He subsequently runs away to join the French Foreign Legion; in some adaptations, more than one of the Geste brothers joins him or goes to find him.Film and TV adaptations
