Ellen S @ECSchwartz Mar 19 This is my favorite movie of all time. The acting is terrific--Caine and Connery are alternately endearing and infuriating complex characters. The dialogue is wonderful. It hews closely to the Kipling original; it also expands and fleshes out elements of what is really just a short story. Settings are exotic, fantastic. The music both expresses the action and the emotions, while evoking the exotic aspects of this wonderful adventure story.

A mad adventure, with a clever premise and historical intrigue; the performances are terrific and the landscapes are stunning. The "frame story" structure gives both the beginning and end of the film added resonance. See more Susan W @Soosie Jan 31 An absolute banger of a movie. I was in my 20s when this film came out and never got to see it although I was at the pictures every week. Great westerns, war films and thrillers were my film fodder so how this magnificent film got past me I'll never know. Im mystified as to how the fabulous locations were sought out and the indigenous extras included. This film rates with Lawrence and Kwai in my book. There's is no need to stress the charisma and excellence portrayed by Connery and Caine absolutely faultless. Miss it at your peril. See more Fer S @RT07531533 05/01/2025 It is quite good. Very interesting. I found the beginning to be confusing. I also think it got kind of slow. I wanted it to end already. See more Read all reviews
