  • a great adventure yarn with an all-star cast...

    Connery and Caine are excellent in this Rudyard Kipling tale of two army buddies who set out to find riches in a remote region of the Empire once visited by Alexander The Great... All goes well for them when Connery is mistaken for a godly descendant of Alexander by the native people's high priests... It is only when Connery decides to wed a beautiful young woman, that his human frailty is exposed with disastrous consequences for both men...

  • Great Adventure

    Great Adventure with very good acting & directing. Read the Kipling story, also. One of his best. He knew Rider Haggard. That should tell you something. The movie is better than escape fiction, but it will give plenty of thrills.

  • He should have left with the gold instead of staying for Roxanne.

    I would have given this film a five stars but on the second side, it kept stopping which was frustrating but it was still a wonderful movie and I think a classic. A wonderful cast too and beautiful scenery and a great story!

  • Classic Adaptation

    Great cast; Connery and Caine play off of each other well. Worth a rewatch; not dated as a period piece. Held up well.
