Rating: Null/10 (9 March 2014)

This is one of the most underrated movies of all time. The cinematography is amazing, the script is brilliant, and the two lead actors could not have been better cast. Connery and Caine have such great chemistry together, and their relationship with Billy Fish is wonderful. It's a beautiful illustration of "power corrupts", but friendship wins out in the end. I've sen some comments here about Danny and Peachy being "despicable" but they were soldiers cut loose by the empire they'd fought for, with nothing to look forward to back home except poverty. Why not go for the big score? I loved this movie. John Huston's direction was beautiful....he got out of his actors' way and just let them do it. And they did. And Christopher Plumber's role, though small, was so important to the plot.
