This was a very enjoyable movie. Loved Alain Delon and Anthony Quinn.

***CORRECTION*** Lost Command (aka Les Centurions) is a 1966 American war film directed and produced by Mark Robson and starring Anthony Quinn, Alain Delon, George Segal, Michèle Morgan, Maurice Ronet and Claudia Cardinale. It is based on the best-selling 1960 novel The Centurions by Jean Lartéguy. The film focuses on the story of French paratroopers battling in French Indochina and French Algeria.

not French paratroopers. They were all foreigners. foreign legion

[@eriglebrundelabouexiere472]

@@gaswhole You're wrong. This was a "metropolitan" regiment. There were some Legion units deployed in Algeria but they were far from being a majority. My father was part of the regiment depicted in this movie, and you can find his name in the book that inspired the movie.

Decent enough film. Particularly interesting in that it portrays wars that, although important - particularly to France, were of little interest to Americans. If Americans aren't interested then... it might as well not have happened... So, Indochina and Algeria make for different, interesting settings. When compared with its source novel, Jean Larteguy's The Centurions, it is quite weak. But does a movie version of a great novel ever live up to expectations? It's great to see every one properly kitted out in the para lizard suits and sporting MAT 49 SMGs. The cast is fairly good: Anthony Quinn and Alain Delon. Quinn is one of those actors that plays many nationalities (Filipino in Back to Bataan, Greek in Navarone and Zorba, Italian in Santa Vittorio, Bedouin in Lawrence... etc). I think he makes a good Raspeguy. As for George Segal as an Algerian.... err... okay, I guess... I'd have liked to see a longer Dien Bien Phu opening (I still have not seen Schoendoerffer's film and I'm starving for a good film about that battle. Jump Into Hell is very weak), a better depiction of the hardships of 'reeducation' in the Viet camps (the movie treats this period as a sort of comic relief bit... Jeeps don't have keys, by the way...). The Casbah clean up is okay but the match box bombs are a little goofy. And Delon's romance is a bit distracting. All in all a fairly good effort about events that I am, personally, fascinated with and connected to a book that I have read over 5 times (and the sequel, The Praetorians).

[@flavioqueiroz7411]

Those prisoners would not be so happy when they learn that very few of them will survive imprisonment. Of my father's former unit the 4th RAC (Regiment Artillery Colonial), only two NCOs returned to France after the Viet Minh prison camps.

France was doing raping and killing the innocent locals. Remember France didn’t have the bells to fight the Nazis. And it was American and British blood why France has its liberty today.

[@petergraves2085]

Exactly - it's somewhere in Vietnam. Most probably during the 1950s, before Dien Bien Phu. Absolutely nothing to do with "Italian-American commando outfit disguised as an Italian Army unit is parachuted behind Axis lines in North Africa." They're French POWs, as the exchange at 3.10 makes quite plain.
