Based on a short story by Rudyard Kipling, this adventure film follows the exploits of Peachy Carnehan (Michael Caine) and Danny Dravot (Sean Connery), English military officers stationed in India. Tired of life as soldiers, the two travel to the isolated land of Kafiristan, where they are ultimately embraced by the people and revered as rulers. After a series of misunderstandings, the natives come to believe that Dravot is a god, but he and Carnehan can’t keep up their deception forever.

I decided to put this on early so you might catch it on TCM this weekend. It is one of the movies with Sean Connery and Michael Caine who are at their comic best in this. I love this scene:
The Bag Lady 
Never seen it, either. Gonna have to check it out!

It has some controversial material for today’s standards, but I enjoy the actors.

I admire your film watching unless something grips me in the first ten minutes I lose the desire to carry on watching. That why I don’t follow people who write long blogs. 😬

I truly love this movie, but I haven’t seen it in at least a decade. Now I need to find out if it’s streaming anywhere that I can download it and watch it again.
