The Filmgoers' Annual TOM BROWN, a devil-may-care private in the Foreign Legion, was beginning to tire of his latest affair, which happened to be with the wife of an officer, when he met a cabaret singer who singled him out from all other suitors for her favours. He contrives to see this lady in her apartment, finds her embittered with life and scornful of men, is strangely attracted by her, fears her fascination, and abruptly takes his leave, to find his discarded sweetheart awaiting him. The singer follows, a quarrel ensues, Brown is arrested and assigned to a dangerous mission. He goes to say goodbye to his new love, overhears a wealthy suitor offer marriage, leaves a note and rides away to accomplish his mission and to elect to remain in the desert on active service. The girl, hearing he is wounded, asks her wealthy lover to take her to him, and he, realising he is defeated, volunteers to aid Brown's desertion from the Legion. The climax is terrific. Gary Cooper, Marlene Dietrich and Adolphe Menjou make this MOROCCO a picture of extraordinary power.
