The Man Who Would Be King

It’s about friendship and glory and bravery and mockery and Freemasons and tricks and dreams and illusions and war and kingdoms and gold. You know, the name of the game: fame, fortune and glory.

It's about those two tricksters and gentlemen and hoodlums and actors and gentlefellows: Michael Caine and Sean Connery. It's about those obsessive, beautiful, ugly years: the 70's. When we were born. When the oil got squeezed. Those years between the Summer of Love and the punk angst.

It’s about John Huston.
