Tuaregs into thinking that they are still at full strength. The Hollywood versions of Beau Geste don't include this vital part of the story, but the 1982 mini-series by the BBC stays true to the book and shows the soldiers singing the song. The 1978 film March or Die also features legionnaires singing the song, at the command of their officer Major Foster, played by Gene Hackman. The song also appears in the 1998 film Legionnaire starring Jean-Claude Van Damme, though in this film the soldiers don't sing the song to its traditional tune. In the Netflix series Undercover, part of this song is sung by Legio Patria Nostra in order to identify whether the main character, Bob Lemmens is really a Foreign Legionnaire or an imposter; to which Bob responds with correct lyrics. In the 2022 French-German experimental drama film Human Flowers of Flesh the song is sung in its entirety on the soundtrack while a legionnaire makes his bed.
