No, "Beau Geste" was most certainly a book -- Christopher Wren wrote it, IIRC.

It was made into a movie, though, at least four or five times prior to
the release of "The Last Remake of Beau Geste". As I said previously, it
seems to owe a fair amount to "The Four Feathers", too, which is about
Englishmen in the _British_ military service in Africa, the Sudan, as I
recall. They also jined up for unorthodox reasons, especially the main character.
