Squadrone Bianco (The White Squadron) was the last of three films completed in 1936 by versatile Italian director Augusto Genina. The story concerns a young cavalry officer (Fosco Giachetti) who voluntarily transfers to a godforsaken outpost in Africa. He has done this to get over an unhappy romance but now finds he is twice as unhappy in solitude. Eventually his inbred sense of duty resurfaces and he becomes a "model" officer, successfully fending off a band of rebellious natives. And as icing on the cake, he wins back the love of his sweetheart (Fulvia Giachetti).
