The Man Who Would Be King

from Fifteen Minute Film Fanatics · host Fifteen-Minute Film Fanatics

Sean Connery and Michael Caine both called THE MAN WHO WOULD BE KING (1975) their personal favorite. Mike and Dan talk about John Huston's "romp with ideas" and how the film looks into the heart of darkness--but in a way wholly different from that which a viewer might expect. George Orwell, Socrates, Moby-Dick, and Apocalypse Now all come up in a conversation about what one of the guys calls a "colonial carnival." Hats off! Hats on! Press Play!  Please subscribe to the show wherever you get your podcasts and follow us on YouTube, Twitter and Letterboxd.
