The Last Remake of Beau Geste is a 1977 British historical comedy film[3] directed, co-written and starring Marty Feldman. It is a satire loosely based on the 1924 novel Beau Geste, a frequently-filmed story of brothers and their adventures in the French Foreign Legion. The humor is based heavily upon wordplay and absurdity. Feldman plays Digby Geste, the awkward and clumsy "identical twin" brother of Michael York's Beau, the dignified, aristocratic swashbuckler.
It was the feature film directorial debut of Feldman. He subsequently went on to direct In God We Tru$t (1980).
