- Peachy Carnehan (Michael Caine) and Daniel Dravot (Sean Connery) are called on the carpet by a local official in colonial India on suspicion of conspiracy to blackmail, and deliver their finest performance of the 1975 movie. Based on the Rudyard Kipling story, in which Kipling himself is played by Christopher Plummer.
I love this movie, by the way. They just don't make 'em like that any more!
One of the best movies ever made...
No argument here.
+William Wilson Aaah, yes.
William Wilson Brilliantly, brilliant!
It's actually better than the book.
@@alanvcraig Got the anthology. Maybe the book version's as good as the film.
When life has shown you a bad hand and you want to lie down and die, then remember this. You're only done when you decide. Hats on.
Well said, Brother Davidian7787!
I am sorry to admit that I am so old, ... that I saw this movie in FEB 1976 in NYC at its American premiere. Now more than 45 years ago!!! And it entertains just as much now, as it did then!!! Poor Sean finally succumbed in summer 2020 at age 80, but I think Michael carries on. The byplay between them (Sean as David Dravat and Michael as Peachy) is just PRICELESS!!!
Sean Connery 1930-2020
The limey variant of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.
Daniel, not David, but otherwise WELL SAID.
Sean Connery was 90 years old when he died. Good thing his acting was better than your math.
My Favorite Line in the Movie is When M.C. Said "The Jig is Up" Dave'. (smile)
This is one of the least known yet greatest MAN'S movies ever made. Houston had been trying to get it made for decades. He wanted Humphrey Bogart and Clark Gable, but they got too old. Fabulous fabulous film!
Glad it didn't work. This film is perfection is it stands
They died on him. He wanted to do it in the 1950s and couldn't get it done, and they were both gone by 1960, victims of the old Hollywood lifestyle. Both had done physically demanding roles recently before their deaths.
It's a good thing they never got the chance, though, because dear God.
It's also a film that a lot of women are sure to like, they like adventure films as much as men, and given the stars of this film didn't exactly fall out of the ugly tree either...
It's hard to define what exactly a 'man's' film really is, because, for instance, the James Bond films might seem to be that, but as everyone knows they are everything BUT that. Everyone, everywhere, likes those films. Maybe The Big Lebowski? Fight Club? American Psycho? The business card scene in American Psycho is pure hierarchical dick-swinging. But then you've got Christian Bale showering. So...?
that is incorrect His Wife was dying CASABLANCA
@Chase Williams and the Wild Geese
He got lucky with this duo. Incredible acting and chemistry.
One of the greatest films of all time. A real boys own adventure story with friendship, ambition and loyalty at it's heart.
Detriments? Well I want to remind you that it was detriments like us that built this bloody Empire AND the Izzat of the bloody Raj! Hats on!
Terrific Stuff!
It really was the epitomy of English accented brass. They nailed it in performing that scene it's legendary truly. I use this link like a quote or emoji for brassy conduct in general and for being very very good at what you do best. Brass off any scrutiny whatsoever.
I read that John Huston was hospitalized during the film. Caine and Connery visited him totally in character, walking into the room and removing their hats just like in the scene!
D Cavalli Wonderful story. This was my father's favourite film, he recently passed away and whenever I went to see him in hospital I entered in exactly the same way.
lol I bet that cheered him up
@@Edkins460 - awk, I didn't see your post until I'd answered the post you're replying to.
My comment wasn't meant for you, it would sound callous.
@@franl155 Don't worry about it, but for the record, it did cheer my father up too! :)
By the way, guys, I once saw a documentary about the background of this film. Most of the scenes were NOT filmed in central or southern (India) Asia, ..... BUT IN MOROCCO!!! And the frail old guy who played the high priest with about 100 wrinkles on his face?? He was a shepherd!!! He went home after each day's filming ant watched over his flock for most of the night!!! Which explains why his eyes were so bloodshot! And I think he was 95 or maybe even 100 years OLD!!
It's odd how little business suits have changed in 130 years.
Can't beat a classic!
Belated answer by me, but true. I remember seeing a photo of Franz Kafka in a book. The photo was taken a little before or during WW1, but he was wearing a business suit almost identical to one I had at the time (the 1980s).
These two really carried the film.
I wish I could give you ten thumbs ups. I don't think the two ever had leading roles together in a film before or after. What a shame. The bi-play tween the two of them is THE BEST I have ever seen in my life. I would place Eastwood and Eli Wallach in Good-Bad-Ugly way up there also. And in case you have never seen it, and don't mind f-bombs galore, De Niro and Grodin in Midnight Run. Even Dustin Hoffman and a young Tom Cruise in Rain Man were terrific.
Plummer was great as Kipling too.
And all the rest...
Vrgnia Mailman, don’t forget Newman and Redford.
@@VrgniaMailman Huh? Connery was the lead in like 6 Bond films. Caine was co-lead in Zulu and frankly so many films before and after it's impossible to list. And yes they were brilliant here.
@@tsopmocful1958 Exactly. The Kipling role was a small one but it held the whole story together.
I like the way Christopher Plummer says no at the end shaking his head.
My God he's young once!
@@JnEricsonx RIP Plummer
Yeah, like he would actually like to.
@@stenmaulsby5924 It would have been a colourful article.
Caine was perfect as Peachy. His real life hatred of the British class system just underscored his incredible performance here and thru the film. Legendary story, cast, director.
aye, East London working class. He did a great job as an out-ranked cavalry oficer in"Zulu".
His hatred of the British class system, yet he was a staunch Tory supporter.
There's no way they can make a movie like this ever again. Connery and Caine made this film the great piece of film that it is.
"Let him put that in his paper if he has need of news!"
Fuck you! And the horse that you rode in on!
LOLOLOL
I always laugh at that. I've laughed at that a lot.
@@lindajordan5481 metoo
Possible the greatest improvised scene in cinema history. Brilliant!
I didn't want to watch this film, but my oldest friend Abede convinced me and I watched & re-watched it over 100 times. Bloody good show!
Hardly an aglophile,but I have to admit my reluctant admiration !!!!
To be sure...
Kudos to Abede.
@@lawrencewood289 Thanks for posting that - cheers & good health 🍸⛩️
RIP Sean Connery. You will never be forgotten.👍🌞🇬🇧🙏🌞
"Let him put that in his newspaper if he has need of news!"
hahah the way Sean says it!
I love the bit where they're talking to Kipling about the "contrack" and mention the last clause about not deserting each other, and the way Sean looks and sounds when he says they didn't really need it, they put it in just for show.
Rip Christopher Plummer and Sean Connery
Pretty sure this is Michael Caine's original accent. I wish this wonderful duo had worked together more.
Reminder to ones self. Must use the phrase "Hats on" as often as possible. I love it.
Makes for a good exit!
By the left...quick march!
Great scene! these men were truly the backbone of the British Army!
+Ad Mirer Its the look. If you ain't got it you'll never get it.
The british army can go to hell. It was not british. And it was not an army, it was a racket.
@@martinan22 what's a racket ???
@@silicononsapphire5102 The East India Company? You know, that conquered India? Until it had extorted so much that there was a huge rebellion in 1857. Then the East India Company used its bought politicians to safeguard its asset on the British Taxpayers expense by letting the army put down the rebellion. Privatize your profits, socialize your losses, as it was then, it is now. A racket.
For example, the "bailout of Greece" a few years back was not a bailout of Greece, it was a bailout of the banks that had lent money to Greece. They got high interest rates and when it all came crashing down they used their bought politicians to socialize their losses.
@@martinan22
Bloody liberals.
Two of the finest actors.
Four actually...
@@ravey99 Plummer and the actor who played Billie Fish, Saeed Jaffrey???
@@VrgniaMailman Yes, loved Jaffreys work
Detriments?! Hats on! About turn! Great film.
"I'LL HAVE YOU KNOW THAT IT WAS DETRIMENTS LIKE US WHO ..... etc " LOL
RIP sean connery
Thank you for my 80s childhood
Many, many would say, Sean Connery's finest performance.....1930-2020 R.I.P. Sir Thomas Sean Connery
I wholly agree
No love for Zardoz? (I kid, I kid.)
one of the best movies ever made
Three great actors and directors!!!!!
This movie should gave given them both a nomination and wins in my humble opinion.
On my all-time 'top 5' list. Brilliant movie!
"Detriments you call us? Detriments?? Well I wanna remind you it was 'detriments' like us that BUILT this bloody Empire AND the izzat of the bloody Raj. 'Ats on!" :D
I love that quote. It's not just well written, it's also kinda poignant (and true).
At about 1:36, Peachey lets the bureaucrat have it!! One of the funniest set of lines in all moviedom: "DETRIMENTS YOU CALL US?!?!!!! DETRIMENTS??!!! Well I want to remind you that it was DETRIMENTS like us that built this bloody empire ......!!!!"
Doug Griggs
"Hats on. About turn. By the left, quick March."
Years later they’d be called deplorables
...and the Izhat of the bloody Raj!
Great film. A solid director and two good actors at their best.
Two legends
I wish there were more scenes from the film here other than this and the ending.
Great movie I saw it years ago and it is one of those films that could be called a perfect movie
this was the first video I ever bought. I didn't even have a video player at the time. It's amazing how closely they stick to what is, after all, only a short story.
I wonder/shudder to think what kind of film it would have been with Gable and Bogart ...
"We done most things in our time" absolute legend
Detriments?! Detriments?!
So Mote It Be, Brothers Connery and Caine.
And a superb performance from Jack May (aka Nelson Gabriel), the 'local official'...
ravey99
Indeed - a lovely, lovely actor.
And 'The Archers' was never the same after he departed......................
THANK YOU! - I knew I Knew the voice , if not the face
he's been gone 21 years now
AKA Igor the Butler from Count Duckula
Great movie, great actors.
Anyone can recommend movies similar to this one? This is my favorite movie of all time, two guys who have the vision, the balls, the know how and a big dream that will scare of most people. What is not to love.
gunga din the wind and the lion zulu the last valley northwest frontier china seas kawrence of arabia the true glory lives of a bengal lancer northwest mounted police all the early indiana jones movies the lost patrol second hand lions the professionals butch cassidy ride the high country emperor jones nope that keeps you going loads more in the same vein
Well, you might not consider these similar, nor good (not all of them are). But in someways they have that , reaching into the unknown, trying to conqour new territory, the Faustian thing about them. Or maybe I read them wrong:
Doomsday (British B-movie from 2008)
Lawrence of Arabia (needs no explanation)
For some reason i added Domino and The messenger the story of Joan of Arc to the list. Im not sure they are apropriate.
Bridge over the river Kwai and the film Zulu come to mind.
Love this movie !
'It was detriments like us that built this bloody Empire'
"Detriments you call us?Detriments? Well i want to remind you that detriments like us that build this bloodly empire"
India was no stranger to colonization & colonialism before the 16th century CE
Crhistopher Plummer as Rudyard Kipling. RIP.
My favorite movie of all time.
It's kind of funny how cluelessly over-bold Peachy and Danny are!!!
The Eastern Star... EPIC...
with a kic called tabby
No fucks given this day.
fantastic movie!
FRACKING AWESOME !
A bit more trivia: the actress who played Roxanne was Shakira Caine, Michael Caine's real-life wife.
I didn't know that. Now I've a good reason to watch it again.
They were charming greeting me at their door and also as passengers although Caine was a bit paranoid about the party people milling around on Sunset just east of Vine.
Its called being a soldier.
In a way this reminds me of Hernan Cortez with 38 spanish soldiers taking the mighty Inca empire ranging from Argentina,chile,Bolivia,Peru Ecuador and colombia.
The difference was that it was true.
But the spirit of this film is admirable!!!
Hats off...Hats on! Brilliant.
Best of British!
So being a soldier in the United Kingdom's armed forces still carries the same rewards/punishments....still treated with total disrespect by the so called leaders ....You Soldiers deserve better, much better.
One of my favourite films and indeed clip, thanks for posting this
Brilliant...nice one Sean.
Both Caine n Connery at their most characterful, rogueish and coolest ... and not at their youngest lol ... epic film, a definate all time classic with such a memorable ending and Connerys rendition of "Son of God Goes to War" still gives me a shiver as it did 40 odd years ago when I first saw this on tv (my Dad MADE me watch it )
I saw this when it came out (1977?) but
I didn't know it was a John Huston picture 'til now.
Caine and Connery, what a pairing!
Happy birthday, Mr. Caine!
Detriments you call us ? Detriments will i wanna remind you it was Detriments like us that built this bloody empire and the izzat of bloody raj
hats on
CLASSIC!
Fantastic scene. My first son's name will be Carnehan.
Happy 90th, Maurice Micklewhite!
and Danny's Dad was a bar steward in a knocking shop in Durham
Utter beauty.
Humanities Rule Britannia class stand up!
I can easily imagine Roger Moore as the random bureaucrat in this scene… imagine the alternate universe where that happened!
bad ass where they belong, eh what.
Detriments? You call us, detriments? Well I want you to know that those were detriments like us who built this bloody empire and bloody izzat of the Raj.
India was no stranger to colonization & colonialism before the 16th century CE
so owned
now the timing in the british army has always been 1 2 3 !
123
Their foot drill was pretty good, considering Sean Connery had left the Royal Navy decades before this film was made, and Michael Caine hadn't been in the British Army for about the same amount of time (he was a reservist, conscripted under something called National Service and he actually saw combat in Korea).
This scene wasn't scripted, it was likely improvised by Caine because the director of the film, John Huston, was an American who wouldn't have had a clue about how to direct this scene. Totally authentic and totally understandable to anyone who had ever served in any British Commonwealth military unit in the 20th and 21st centuries. As a former Canadian Army reservist myself, I found the line, "By the left, quick MARCH!" all too familiar.
@@stevestruthers6180 former Canadian Army Reserve here too (Armoured Recce). I know the history but it still sends chills and instills pride when you hear those commands!
welcome to milliways the restaurant at the end of the universe.
Gotta tell you, three great actors there: Caine, Connery and Plummer. No?
Peachy, just peachy - wonderful skewering of cant and human nature vs. socio-political concerns - Children, they used to call this cinema.
RIP Sean Connery
Ed Rogers sent me here.
too true
Kish my royal arsh!
Detrements you call us?
RIP...

TH-cam premium, for those who are too lazy to install netflix
Do they still march that way in the British Army?
Yes, well the foot-stomping anyway. Funnily enough, it wasn't how they marched back then!
Look up Trooping the Colour here on TH-cam.
Is that man Klytus?
00:22 misspoken from book to film... EASTERN STAR HIRAMABIFF print that in your newspapers if you've need of something to print
for the Widowers Sons.
A deliberate change of dialogue and perhaps for good reason.
Good Movie, Bad Ending.
The film is a bit tiring, but nontheless it represents a sense of magic long lost now in our time where technology has changed our perception of time and space. No room for epicness
Based on a book by a man who never existed
and i still dont know the name of this movie, ho well...
The Man Who Would Be King.
@@bergmanf Ohhhhhh its on amazon!!
@@colzaidikari In fairness it's the first result if you'd Googled "Connery and Caine" but glad to have saved you the twenty seconds.
Just finished it. i cant believe that is how it ended T_T.
the great scene where he throws babu off the train.the most imperialist look on his face.
LOLOLOLOL
Love the right wing undertones of this film
Right wing? How so? The concept of the political spectrum didn't even exist in the year this film is set. Grow up, and grow a pair.
If you think this film has right wing undertones, you have COMPLETELY missed its point.
Paul Seager Yes it did. The concept of the ‘left’ and ‘right’ dates from the French Revolution when supporters of the King sat on the right of the National Assembly and supporters of the revolution sat on the left. The OP has totally missed the point of this film, though, if he thinks it’s right wing.🙄
@@hannyhawkins7804 in that case it has left wing undertones.
He's correct. Kipling was a proud imperialist Anglo-Indian with unashamed jingoism and patriotic fervour.
Those two are just epic in everything they do. 😂
