Pros: Great acting by Connery, Caine and Plummer. Cons: Rather dated, extremely sexist, but stays loyal to the Kipling story and attitudes.
John Huston labored for years to get this movie put together. Originally he was going to have Humphry Bogart in the role Daniel Dravot, but happily, he held out and had Sean Connery in the part. I first saw this film when it was originally released in...
Pros: Geat acting and Scenic Beauty, good use of humor Cons: Good adventure stories are too few and far between
Starring old pros Michael Caine and Sean Connery, as ne'er-do-wells seeking fortune in British India, this is one of the all-time adventure movies that must be seen to be believed! With a cameo appearance by Christopher Plummer, as Rudyard Kipling, ...
Pros: Micheal Caine, Sean Connery, lots of humour, satire, action. Cons: Maybe not serious enough for some people.
John Huston was a director that managed to be productive throughout many decades, even as other old-time directors faded away by the 60’s and 70’s. Huston’s very first movie was The Maltese Falcon (1941), starring Humphrey Bogart, and...

John Huston waited nearly 25 years to make The Man Who Would Be King, released in 1975 and starring those two dashing British rogues Michael Caine and Sean Connery. Huston—legendary director of The African Queen, The Maltese Falcon, The...
Pros: Magnificent adventure, the rise and fall of Empire, a symbolic cautionary tale on several levels. Cons: A few rough patches, perhaps due to the Film's financing, new personnel, Huston's failing health.
Looked down upon now as an Imperialist, Rudyard Kipling wrote "The Man Who Would Be King," thought for many years the perfect short story. Perhaps, that is why John Huston harbored an oft disappointed desire to put it on film. Awkward financing...
"The Man Who Would Be King" is a good adventure film and historical epic. Despite having many advantages, the movie is hampered if not derailed by failed comic relief and unlikely supporting characters.
Pros: Connery and Cane in rare form, top shelf whit Cons: a bit long
Oh where to start about such a fine cinematic experience. Never will you see a finer performance by either Connery or Cane. As a soldier I was inspired to see this movie, and as a poet I was inspired to love it. The screenplay was a masterful...
