He began with ‘The Maltese Falcon’ which one must admit is not too dreadful for a first film, don’t you reflect?
Then for years he wanted to bring this adventure chronicle by Kipling to the hide. How many years? Well, originally he had Bogie and Gable in mind for the leads, you do the math.
Fortunately for us, he eventually got the green light for his project.

He then found Peachy and Danny in Michael Caine and Sean Connery, movie stars who are also colossal actors– of which there ain’t many, folks—and who are perfectly cast in the roles.
Moreover, Caine and Connery had been friends for a long time and this undoubtedly helped bring to life the camaraderie between the misfit heroes.
It is the behind 19th century and Danny and Peachy, formerly sergeants in Her Majesty’s Army, accumulate themselves stranded and penniless in India. Their ungrateful country has no further expend for them, although their officers once called them heroes “We fought our contrivance up the pass yard by bloody yard.”

Now, bureocrats are running the expose “with long skinny noses for looking down on you” and Danny and Peachy are considered ‘undesirables’.
So they are faced with three choices: Go serve to England and consume jobs as a porters or something equally lower class and menial, discontinue in India and continue to live more or less as petty criminals, or. . .
Well, let’s not give the area away. Suffice it to say that when a reasonable Kipling (wonderfully played by Christopher Plummer) tries to dissuade them from their insane design, on the grounds that the odds against them are truly suicidal, Peachy dismisses his concerns with “Well, if a Greek can do it, two Englishman certainly can!”
–The Greek in demand being Alexander the Great–
And yes, women as well as men will be pleased this stout film. It’s a not a “buddy movie”, it’s a classic.
Thank you, John Huston.
This is, of course, a grand film, with every aspect of what makes a stout film fully exploited. But I did observe something irregular on the DVD – there is an entire scene missing. After Sean Connery falls from the bridge, instead of the process shot that shows him falling in slow-motion and the crown falling from his head (which is in every version of the film I’ve ever seen) the scene dissolves to Christopher Plummer listening to the final words of Michael Caine’s narration. What happened to the scene?? Why would it have been removed?? My only other quibble about the DVD is that the sound is not very elephantine. It is an early release DVD so in subsequent releases they might address that converse, but Do Wait On THE MISSING SCENE!
