Joh Huston directed this classic Kipling adventure about British soldiers trying to bamboozle high priests in remote Kafiristan. A grandly entertaining, old-fashioned adventure based on the Rudyard Kipling short story, The Man Who Would Be King is the kind of rousing epic about which people said, even in 1975, "Wow! They don't make 'em like that anymore". When director John Huston first started trying to make the film, with Gable and Bogart, the project was derailed by the latter's death. It was a few decades before Huston was finally able to realise his dream movie--and with an unimprovable cast. Sean Connery and Michael Caine are, respectively, Daniel Dravot and Peachy Carnahan, a pair of lovably roguish British soldiers who set out to make their fortunes by conning the priests of remote Kafiristan into making them kings. It's a rollicking tale, an epic satire of imperialism, and the good-natured repartee shared by Caine and Connery is pure gold. Huston lets the humour emerge naturally from the characters, for whom we wind up caring more deeply than we ever expected. -- Jim Emerson Stills from The Man Who Would Be King (click for larger image) From the Back Cover They rarely make them this way anymore ? but they should. Based on a Rudyard Kipling story and packed with spectacle, humour, excitement and bold twists of fate, John Huston?s film of The Man Who Would Be King earns its crown as one of the screen?s great adventures. Sean Connery and Michael Caine ? chins out, shoulders squared and with an occasional sly wink ? star as British sergeants Danny Dravot and Peachy Carnehan. The Empire was built by men like these two. Now they?re out to build an empire of their own: they?re venturing into remote Kafiristan to become rich as kings. Filmmaker Huston had earlier envisioned Clark Gable and Humphrey Bogart as the leads. Later, Paul Newman and Robert Redford were proposed. Newman, however, suggested Connery and Caine. It?s hard to imagine any others in this masterwork Caine called "the only film I?ve done that will last after I?m gone."
