Another strong pre-Dracula performance from Bela Lugosi. He plays a sheik backing Warner Baxter’s Dirty Dozenesque band of French Foreign Legion deserters in North Africa. Baxter builds a formidable force but can’t shake his grudge against vamp Myrna Loy. Commanding performances from Loy and Lugosi make for a better-than-expected viewing experience.

Renegades 1930
Directed by Victor Fleming. Starring Warner Baxter, Myrna Loy, Noah Beery, and Gregory Gaye.
