Old times´ sake

Rating: 9/10 (4 November 2000)

Great, great, just an ole´ great and grand production like Hollywwod used to make once in a while. Witty script, sharp and wonderful actors (Connery and Caine are probably one of the greatest duos ever on the silver screen) and unbelievable direction from the great John Huston. The adaptation of Kipling´s story of the two troublemaking British officers in the 1880´s that travel to the East and get mistaken for gods provide a rich, deep soil for Huston to practice his magic storytelling. Like in most of his films, you get comedy, plenty of adventure and a gritty journey into the human heart. Without doubt, John Huston is the Rudyard Kipling of movies. Here, he meets his perfect match. I had´t had this much fun ever since "Tom Jones". Watch it.
