I first saw this film at its release in (I think) 1975. The story line, the episodic locales, it was as if you were transported there into the story as Caine regales Plummer. The characters became real as this schooltime story became an adult's escape if but for a few hours. There should be more like this.

A great Ruyard Kippling's novel interpretation for the screen. Great director, actors and script. This version has a few enhancements that make it great for hometheater.

This is by far the best film to come out of a very experimental decade. Instead, this is a classic of traditional film-making, by a master of Hollywood drama. It is with films like this that one wants to say, "they don't make 'em like this anymore." Although the acting is, indeed, flawless and exhilarating as others have noted, it is finally the totality of the film that is so outstanding. The story, of course, is brilliantly conceived by Kipling, filled with irony and pathos, a superb celebration and denunciation of Empire and its central conceit. No doubt, Huston had this one tucked in his back pocket for years. As with other Huston films, this is a story about men, their friendships, their betrayals. The story reminds me of Huston's earlier film "The Misfits, " starring Clarke Gable and Monte Clift. There, too, we find old friends tested by the presence of a beautiful woman. In the Kipling story, there is far more humor, a breezy quality that must have to do with the superb performances of Caine and Connery. The setting is, of course, half the wonder. The cinematography is breathtaking. I have tried showing this to youngsters without much luck. I suppose one has to have been around a while to understand just how funny and how sad this story is.

Originally intended to be a project with Clark Gable and Humphrey Bogart, then later Paul Newman and Robert Redford -- Newman suggesting Connery & Caine to Huston. A true classic of high adventure. Also starring Christopher Plummer as Rudyard Kipling. Sean Connery and Michael Caine are incredible as former members of Her Majesty's forces turned rogues Daniel Dravit and Peachy Carnnihan.
Rating: -
This movie is probably the greatest "buddy film" of all time. Michael and Sean make a perfect dynamic duo. Their combined natural acting abilities along with the catchy dialogue make for a hilarious adventure.
