Aug 05, 2017 British idioms throughout make subtitles useful if not essential. Professional critics loved it ... who in their right mind dared to slight the story writer, director and actors, all celebrated masters of their…

One of the most brilliant adventure films ever made. In the John Huston tradition of The African Queen, Treasure of the Sierra Madre, and The Asphalt Jungle, it is a perfect balance of action, humor, hope, tragedy, absurdity and the human…

Scoundrels Peachy and Danny, no empire builders, are out to rob remote Kafiristan ‘six ways from Sunday.’ Fate intrudes on these jolly pranks in the form of (what else?) ancient Masonic connections. Confirms my previously held suspicion…

Excellent story well told by all. Acting, script, art design, direction, editing, the lot. The four leads are especially fantastic, with additional notice given to the man playing Kafu Selim, the highest Holy Man. Great, all! I’ve seen…

Enjoyed this movie as I like Caine & Connery and remember seeing the movie a long time ago. Good interpretation of Rudyard Kipling's book with Caine & Connery fitting the part as good "bad" guys in Afghanistan when the British Empire…

Excellent! Bravo! Film at its Best! Incredible actors: Sean Connery, Michael Caine, his wife Shakira Caine and John Huston directing. Tall tales, heartbreaking friendship, adventure, incredible scenery, philosophy, irony,…

I reread Kipling's short story before I watched this film of it, and I must say that I found both works disappointing. The story, which I remember quite liking on first reading, made no particular impact the second time around. The movie,…

One of John Huston's best films- with great performances by Connery and Caine- and a rollicking adventure yarn based on Rudyard Kipling's story.

A rousing adventure movie based on a short Rudyard Kipling story. Sean Connery and Michael Caine are two roguish ex-soldiers in India who journey to a remote country and set themselves up as kings in order to plunder the country, but…

"The Man Who Would Be King" is one of Director John Huston's finest movies. This 1975 masterpiece was filmed in beautiful India and you get to travel throughout the country. Cinematographer Oswald Morris captures not only the beauty of…

Why do people need to read a political message into every movie? It'a a movie. Entertaining, but I've been a sucker about movies about the Raj since Gunga Din. Had a Great Uncle by marriage in the Indian(British Army in India)Army. My…

It was O.K for a home TV movie. I was entertained and interesting. But it was NOT worth the long library wait or the price to rent from a Red Box. "I fast forwarded a lot but not all the way.”

Great performances by an amazing duo: Connery and Caine. Adventure, humor, and story telling at their best. One of John Huston's best movies.

A satirical glance at British methods of colonization of backward nations who were sunk in religious fanaticism and imitation of ignorant individuals as religious leaders.
