Baroud is a 1932 British-French adventure film co-directed by Rex Ingram and Alice Terry, featuring performances by Felipe Montes, Rosita Garcia, and Pierre Batcheff. Actor Paul Henreid appeared for the first time on screen in a minor role. The production was issued in distinct French and English editions; the English-language release is occasionally known as Love in Morocco.

This project represents Ingram's final directorial work, concluding the career of the esteemed Hollywood silent-era filmmaker, as well as marking the last film appearance of his wife, renowned silent film star Alice Terry. The term Baroud translates to "war" in the Berber language.

Plot

The narrative unfolds in French Morocco, centering on two Spahi soldiers—one French and the other the son of a local allied chief—whose friendship faces challenges due to competing romantic interests. Ultimately, they come together to repel an assault by a hostile tribal group.
