This American adventure film stars Gary Cooper, Ray Milland, Robert Preston, Brian Donlevy and Susan Hayward. It was directed and produced by William A. Wellman, and was a virtual scene-for-scene remake of the 1926 silent film starring Ronald Colman. The film follows three inseparable English brothers who are adopted into a wealthy family. They join the French Foreign Legion in North Africa after one of the brothers steals the family's very valuable heirloom blue sapphire 'blue water'.

Excellent condition, colours remaining very bright.
