175: "The Man Who Would Be King" Film vs History
Send me a message
In this episode I look at "The Man Who Would Be King", a story by Rudyard Kipling and made into a film in 1975 starring Sean Connery and Michael Caine.
A ripping adventure yarn set on the wild frontiers of British India.
But, was there any historical truth to the story?
