This is a candidate for one of the best films ever produced. It is worth watching on your next classic movie night.

The Wind and the Lion | Full Movie with Sean Connery
https://youtu.be/D-In3mEfBxg

This movie was filmed before the normalization of brainless Hollywood portrayals of all foreigners as mindless drones. It showed an era of mutual respect and honor codes between adversaries instead of jingoistic 'light of the world' self-worship.

No spoilers. It is too good for that.

The Wind and the Lion (1975) | Full Movie with Sean Connery | Warner Classics

"... desert brigand chieftain Mulai Ahmed er Raisuli who kidnaps an American widow, Eden Pedecaris (Candice Bergen) in a bid to embarrass the Sultan of Morocco. In doing so, he arouses the ire and interest of an internationally ambitious Commander in Chief, Theodore Roosevelt (Brian Keith)."

Modern cinema is mostly special effects or asocial garbage. The Wind and the Lion is an example of how movies should be made. Don't look up spoilers or you will regret it.

This evening's viewing distraction: new 4k restored version of 1949's Stray Dog by the masterful Akira Kurosawa, which will be getting the Blu-Ray 4k release from the BFI at the end of January shop.bfi.org.uk/stray-dog-blu-

As ever my review will follow later on @PhilEdwards 's Live For Films

"Broadsword calling Danny Boy"

This evening's viewing distraction: going old school with Where Eagles Dare. Haven't watched this in years, but cropped up on BBC iPlayer, so an evening with Richard Burton, Clint Eastwood and not forgetting an appearance by Hammer Queen, Ingrid Pitt (who I once had the pleasure of hosting for a book launch) too.

Over at my Instagram, instagram.com/cinematicenthus, I just posted tons of #mystery #comedy films I’m watching from both 1930-1970 AND 1970- present.

You can find the movie links at this doc:
