Zinnemann somehow makes characters out of mountains. I don't want to go into too much detail, because I'm sure I'll save it all for a future review, but to put it briefly: This is one of my favorite movies, flaws and all. never even bothered to give it a DVD release in the U.S. This film was a huge flop when it came out, and it's obvious that after Zinnemann's death in 1997, people essentially stopped talking about it and Warner Bros. A classic.įred Zinnemann's majestic final film is one that I plan to write about for this blog someday - hopefully, real soon, if I can clear enough time for myself. When Connery, as Danny, takes that finally walk across the bridge, you just want to cry out for him.

John Milius could've learned a thing or two from his old mentor Huston about how to balance spectacle with emotion maybe then, The Wind and the Lion would have been somewhere near the high level of this film.

The chemistry between these two stars is unbelievable. Connery's Danny Dravot and Michael Caine's Peachy Carnehan are two of the most appealing characters ever to lead a Hollywood movie. Few directors make films this exciting, this beautiful very late in his careers, but that's exactly what John Huston accomplished with The Man Who Would Be King: silence his most ferocious critics and effectively ending years of his own bad box-office luck with a grand, sweeping Hollywood masterpiece.

Not necessarily his best performance, but arguably the best movie he ever starred in. This might very well be the greatest of all of Connery's films. In honor of the lad's 83rd birthday, I'll list each Connery vehicle I've seen in chronological order and say what I think of each of 'em. Had he said that it's okay for PEOPLE EVERYWHERE to perhaps get slapped once in awhile in order to get calmed down, his points would have been better-taken, I think. I think the problem with those comments was not so much that he suggested slapping as an approach to insanity, so much as that his comments were directed only at women getting slapped and nobody else. Sure, not everything he's said in the past reflects well on men his pro-slapping comments in that infamous Barbara Walters interview are just painful, though I do at least understand what he was trying to get at. It's difficult to explain why Connery is my favorite actor.

Interestingly, when he himself finally saw Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, his opinion of it was right on the money: "Did I see the latest? I thought it was rather good. I remember how, from 2006-2007, I mounted a relentless campaign on IMDB in hopes of making sure Connery ended up somehow in the fourth Indiana Jones movie, and how crushed I was when he turned down the offer in favor of continuing his enjoyment of retirement.

Then something really horrid called The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen came out 3 years later, and that was it for Sir Connery: He'd had it with Hollywood (thanks a lot, Stephen Norrington!) and was quitting acting. I remember going to see Finding Forrester in theaters in 2000 with my grandfather (a Sean Connery look-a-like) and treasuring it as if that would be a year-long tradition. It sucks to be going to movies nowadays and not be able to look forward to Sean Connery's next big vehicle. He's my favorite living actor, and he's retired.
