https://xcdr.tv/videos/watch/c39da843-7b02-448f-adac-2fd700c7ddcf I've been researching newly public domain films from 1929 and earlier, so I'm uploading the best possible copies that I can find. This critical and financial flop follows two French foreign legion soldiers trapped in a prison who remember the childhood and young adulthood they shared. While the film was a colossal loss of money for RKO Pictures, the creation of this film introduced important technological advances to the filming process overall. I've uploaded two versions, one with higher quality but a small watermark in the upper right corner, and another with no watermark but noticeably worse quality.
