Wissenswertes
This film was first telecast Friday 26 December 1941 on New York City's pioneer commercial television station WNBT (Channel 1). Its earliest documented post-WWII telecasts took place in Cincinnati Tuesday 13 December 1949 on WKRC (Channel 11), in Los Angeles Tuesday 20 December 1949 on KTLA (Channel 5) and in New York City Thursday 27 July 1950 on the Owl Theatre on WPIX (Channel 11).

Patzer
Legionnaires traditionally enlist under a pseudonym. So the Carter brothers would not have been able to locate each other by looking for their sibling's name.

Crazy Credits
The opening credits are followed by a title card stating: "The events and characters depicted in this photoplay are fictitious. Any similarity to actual persons living or dead is purely coincidental."

Missing action, not men

One would think that a film that depicts the French Foreign Legion and their violent struggle with desert brigands in Morocco would be rousing entertainment. Unfortunately, there are only two significant scenes of action in the film. The bulk is taken up with boring dialogue, singing, and stock footage.

It is not unreasonable to expect some adventure in an adventure or war film. "The Legion of Missing Men" fails on this count. While I would normally grant some leeway to a poverty-stricken studio like Monogram, the problems aren't with the budget. In my opinion, they reside mostly with the screenplay and director. The film is only a little more than an hour, but feels substantially longer. Unless you are a foreign legion film fanatic, this is one to miss.
