Seriously? The film spends half an hour showing spoiled English schoolboys playing as sailors and soldiers. Then the softest picture of Legion life and training imaginable. Even Laurel and Hardy showed the Legion as rougher than this film.
Far from being "rousing" or an adventure, I found it pretty dull since most of the film has no action, no war, no fighting. And Cooper has the least believable English accent ever.
Only Brian Donlevy's performance as the crazed sergeant deserves any praise.
