Reviews for The Man Who Would Be King
Top notch Kipling tale with Huston at helm supported by great Connery and Caine performances.
They don't make adventure movies like this anymore. Connery and Caine have rarely been better.
A robust and rousing screen version of one of the greatest adventure stories ever written
Entre uma batalha e uma avalanche, o roteiro procura arrancar boas risadas da platéia. E consegue.
