Review of The Man Who Would Be King (1975) by Pauline Kael for The New Yorker — 21 Jul 1987
The film has genuine wit, an appealing sense of grandeur, and very little of the overt "philosophizing" that marred much of Huston's previous work. His eye for the strong, clear lines of landscape had never been sharper, and Oswald Morris's photography has a fine sun-saturated brilliance.
