A great scene, made all the more poignant by Daniel's show of enormous courage when confronting Eternity. It's a real shame that Caine and Connery never made any more films together again, as there was real chemistry between them.
Quite true. They're both still alive but very old now so I doubt they'll ever team up again and it was a missed opportunity when they were both in their prime.
It's interesting how Peachy talks about himself in the third-person though the whole scene with Kipling. Like he is talking about someone else even though its him. I guess it is appropriate though because he is a shell of his former self.
"And Daniel never let go of Peachey's hand...and Peachey, never let go, of Daniel's head." "...his head?" There's just something about those two lines, a perfect end to a perfect movie.
Plummer is a BRILLIANT proxy for the audience. Listening to Peachy, we're also horrified and awestruck, as he describes Daniel walking before him. We realize the poor man's delusional, but then he says he never let go of Daniel's head, and we realize his tale's more literally true than we could have possibly IMAGINED. It's GENIUS writing, acting, and directing that sends a CHILL down your spine. A transcendent movie moment, 💯 unforgettable.
Quite likely the best and most entertaining "buddy adventure" film ever. It is certainly my favorite--I only wish I could find a recording of "Danny" and "Peachy" singing the entire "Minstrel Boy" song.
@@jamesdoyle7650 Yes James, I will agree with you as regards the featured clip. I first watched the movie a few years before becoming acquainted with the World Wide Web. Since then, I have found various performances online of both songs and a few more verses. I don't have time to view the movie again right now, but I am sure that some of the "Minstrel Boy" lyrics feature earlier in the film. I quite like the tune, but "His father's sword he hath girded on..." were the lyrics that first commanded my attention--my father was a combat veteran of World War Two.
I'll dedicate this one to two old friends of mine, who were with me through Uni, and should have been my comrades at arms in my many travels in many parts of the world, through Arabia and China, but they passed away, far too soon. But their spirit came with me. For Paul of Van Mildert Durham, and Julian, of St Cuths, Durham. We few, we happy few, we band of brothers !
The ending always gave me chills. Beautiful!..He went out like a true King in the end!..his old friend peachy made sure he'll always be remembered as king! 😢
The scene that always goes to my mind when I think of this movie is Rudyard reaction to this whole story. Like us he is terrified over the things he heard, but he knew both these men before they have gone to their travel. That look is the best look of shock I have ever seen in a movie.
You Tube, Thank You. I've searched for the title to this tune for decades. Check out Sean Connery's discussion re: The Man Who Would Be King at the Edinburgh Festival. Director John Huston told Sean Connery his view that "Peachy and Danny were really two parts of the same person. As long as they stayed together, they were alright...". Chills at this scene, is spot on.

A great, great pair of scenes in a GREAT, GREAT MOVIE!!! I went to the world premiere of this movie, NYC, February 1976 . I could not believe what a STUPENDOUS MOVIE IT WAS!!!
Really one of the greatest most underrated films of all time. The genius of Kipling , the acting of Connery and Caine, the great Gurkha warriors, and a fabulous song or two (with maybe a happier way of dying).
I wouldn't go this way, he was killed. I'd have jumped if I knew what was coming, just to put it to the buggers unless he wanted the guy cutting the rope to work for his pay. You can see I've walked to the edge. Live your life slowly. I walked quickly, it doesn't take 80 or 90 years. Some few of you know what I mean.
Michael Caine's real life wife, Shakira, to whom he is still married, played Roxanne. She looks great for age 70. They have a 44-year-old daughter named Natasha who is also gorgeous. Shakira was a model and actress and is of Indian-Guyanan ethnicity.
Ah, yes. You saw that version too. I had just posted that I saw this film again last night on Amazon and for some reason that shot was deleted, of Danny shown closeup with the crown floating in front of him just out of reach of his outstretched arms during the fall. I thought it was a really effective dramatic shot and should have been left in.
@@dondragmer2412 Per Useless Bay Films above: "I remember that too- it looked like cheesy green screen..." Perhaps that is why Huston wanted it deleted?
@@dondragmer2412 nah, because it devalues the severed head. Seeing it, you can imagine that the crown never came off. Also, kingship wasn’t out of his reach. Danny received it and then his downfall came. The point is that he got what he came for, but he went too far. When he puts the crown on just before his death, it’s almost like he’s nailing his flag to to the mast and accepting his fate. He got what he wanted and it resulted in his destruction.
The words are of The Son of God Goes Forth to War, the air is the old Irish air, The Moreen. Most widely known in The Minstrel Boy. An Irish patriotic song written by Thomas Moore after the 1798 Rebellion.
The Son of God goes forth to war, a kingly crown to gain; his blood red banner streams afar: who follows in his train? Who best can drink his cup of woe, triumphant over pain, who patient bears his cross below, he follows in his train. That martyr first, whose eagle eye could pierce beyond the grave; who saw his Master in the sky, and called on him to save. Like him, with pardon on his tongue, in midst of mortal pain, he prayed for them that did the wrong: who follows in his train? A glorious band, the chosen few on whom the Spirit came; twelve valiant saints, their hope they knew, and mocked the cross and flame. They met the tyrant's brandished steel, the lion's gory mane; they bowed their heads the death to feel: who follows in their train? A noble army, men and boys, the matron and the maid, around the Savior's throne rejoice, in robes of light arrayed. They climbed the steep ascent of heaven, through peril, toil and pain; O God, to us may grace be given, to follow in their train.
This ending is incredibly emotional. I will have to get the movie ordered so I can see it again. I thought there were a few brief scenes after Daniel died showing Peachey coming over the mountains again before ending up in the newspaper guy's (actor Christopher Plummer) office. But I am probably wrong.
The steel of brotherhood and camaraderie; forged, tempered, and tested in conflict, is without equal. Man/wife, parent/child, teacher/student, man/dog, even man/God. No steel is as strong as this. "There is no love greater..." If you have a true "bro", you understand. Btw, call that dude, he misses you.
I just saw this film on Amazon again last night; been years since I last saw it; first time in the theater on its initial release then on TV once or twice. I distinctly remember a scene after Danny falls that shows him closeup plummeting down the gorge with the crown falling with him having dropped of his head and just out of reach of his outstretched arms. It seems this 5-second shot has been deleted and I wonder why. Anyone else remember that?
I saw the film when it was new in theaters, and I remember that shot well. Huston (the director) felt it made the story feel too mythological, and ordered it changed in all subsequent releases. He shouldn't have second-guessed it: it fit the narration about falling "20,000 miles" perfectly. I have searched on-and-off for years, (in fact, that's how I got here) and I cannot find any copy with that shot.
Peachy has gone completely insane. He talks about himself in the 3rd person. I guess he figured he died with Danny.They met on the level, and they parted on the square. Great movie from my teenage years. Have never forgotten it.

What's the point of putting the disclaimer at the intro? I mean, the film's out for forty-four years, and you spoiled it with the title. But thanks anyway for the upload, I loved the film.
In case you did not find Dillof's explanation, Daniel was executed because he had impersonated a god to the priests and the Kafiri people. When they learned that he was just a man, their religion and beliefs "forced them" to execute him to be a warning to all Kafiris to never do such a thing again. Mark D also explains and I agree, that not only killing Daniel but also destroying the bridge was symbolic. Rejection and destruction of things British.
Which part? Connery is executed for impersonating a God. The later part? Peachy wants to remember his friend in a certain way, a glorious way like their friendship. In reality, they just chopped his head off with the crown on it and in some way Peachy was Able to pick it up and bring it along.
So wait a minute. Michael Caine went back and grabbed Daniel's head? And has been carrying it around until it basically became a skull? Ew. And why does the skull look like it still has hair LOL
He "didn't go back". They didn't ruin a good bridge killing him. They lopped his head off with or without ceremony and Peachy grabbed it. Reality and fantasy intermixing. Peachy had a glorious friendship with him so created. glorious death.
