Second viewing; first seen on July 21, 1994.
U.S. title: Escape from Yesterday.
Literal translation (from the Spanish): The Flag.
A French man commits a crime while in Barcelona, and, fearing arrest, joins the Spanish Foreign Legion. He is sent to North Africa, where he is supposed to defend the Spanish colonies from riots and other disturbances.
Interesting colonial adventure on the theme of friendship forged in war. The performances are good, the film is entertaining. Several people in the User Review section on IMDB noticed the implausibility of buiding a fort far from the water well, when the rational thing to do would be to build the fort around the well.
