My absolutely favorite film starred Connery and Michael Caine,"The Man Who Would Be King." For some reasson, it's rarely shown on TV. If you get the chance, I would heartily recommend that you see it.
I finally got around to watching this... I had put it in my Amazon queue after your post. Great recommendation! I wasn’t expecting it to be so clever and funny...but it also had me a little anxious.
