THE MAN WHO WOULD BE KING: Was It Great or Were You 8? | Sean Connery | Michael Caine

It's Alonso's turn to choose a movie from his childhood for our latest round of "Was It Great or Were You 8?" to see if it still holds up today. He selected 1975's "The Man Who Would Be King," starring Sean Connery and Michael Caine as con men in pursuit of riches in British colonial India. John Huston directed and co-wrote this epic, based on the Rudyard Kipling short story, which was nominated for four Academy Awards. Christy had never seen the film, so this was a fun discussion. Have you seen "The Man Who Would Be King"? Let us know, and keep an eye out for Christy's next selection from her youth. #themanwhowouldbeking #seanconnery #michaelcaine Review a movie with us at Table for One!
