Priscilla Dean stars as Cigarette, a bold and spirited woman who disguises herself as a man to follow the man she loves, Sergeant Victor, played by Hobart Bosworth, into the French Foreign Legion. Their relationship is complicated by Victor's loyalty to his duty and the presence of Lady Venetia, played by Mary Anderson, who also harbors feelings for him.
Directed by Tod Browning, known for his skill in crafting atmospheric and emotionally charged dramas, "Under Two Flags" explores themes of love, honor, and sacrifice against the harsh and exotic landscape of the desert. Through its sweeping vistas, thrilling action sequences, and romantic melodrama, the film transports viewers to a world of adventure and intrigue.
As Cigarette navigates the dangers of life in the Legion, she must confront her own identity and desires, while Victor grapples with his conflicting loyalties and the allure of forbidden love. Priscilla Dean delivers a standout performance as the fiery and determined Cigarette, capturing the character's complexity and inner turmoil with nuance and emotion.
While "Under Two Flags" may not be as well-known as some of Tod Browning's other films, it remains a classic example of silent cinema, celebrated for its epic scope and compelling storytelling.
