Under Two Flags is a 1936 adventure film, directed by Frank Lloyd and starring Ronald Colman, Claudette Colbert and Victor McLaglen. It was based on the 19th century novel of the same name by writer Ouida. The film has portions of action and melodrama and was widely popular with audiences of its time. Victor (Ronald Colman) has taken the blame for his younger brother's crime and joins the French Foreign Legion to escape his past, taking with him his valet, Rake (Herbert Mundin). His commander is the ruthless Major Doyle (Victor McLaglen), who becomes jealous when Cigarette (Claudette Colbert), a cafe singer, sets her sights on Victor. He, however, is more interested in a refined Englishwoman, Lady Venetia (Rosalind Russell), and he eventually dumps Cigarette for her. Then, Doyle sends Victor off on a suicidal mission to get rid of his rival.
