The Lives of a Bengal Lancer, the 1935 Henry Hathaway (nominated for the Best Director Academy Award for this film) British-in-India military war melodrama (nominated for the Best Picture Academy Award; "A Man's Story... That Women Love!"; based on the novel 'The Lives of a Bengal Lancer' by F. Yeats Brown; about the British in India fighting against impossible odds and demonstrating great bravery; Gary Cooper is a Canadian Scotsman, and most of the movie focuses on the younger soldiers and their older mentors; there is a romantic subplot involving Kathleen Burke, but it is very brief and not memorable, but that is more the fault of the screenwriters than poor Miss Burke)
