Man Who Would Be King, The (1975) -- (Movie Clip) Your Lodge Brothers Christopher Plummer as correspondent Rudyard Kipling, the author inserted into the story by director John Huston, explains to an Indian colonial official (Jack May) why he’s helping arrested fellow Freemasons Carnehan and Dravot (Michael Caine, Sean Connery), in The Man Who Would Be King, 1975.

Man Who Would Be King, The (1975) -- (Movie Clip) Dear Me Alas By Jove Dravot (Sean Connery) and Carnehan (Michael Caine) have reached (imaginary) Kafiristan and saved members of one tribe from raiders of another, planning to be greeted as heroes, meeting Billy Fish (Saeed Jaffrey) and Oohta (Doghmi Larbi), in John Huston's The Man Who Would Be King, 1975.

Man Who Would Be King, The (1975) -- (Movie Clip) Alexander Who? Newsman and fellow Freemason Kipling (Christopher Plummer) baffled, as Peachy (Michael Caine) and Danny (Sean Connery) lay out their plan to become kings of Kafiristan, at his office in Lahore, colonial India, ca. 1870, in John Huston's The Man Who Would Be King, 1975.

Man Who Would Be King, The (1975) -- (Movie Clip) Two Englishmen Left Over Clever scene, not from the Rudyard Kipling novella, adventurers Carnehan (Michael Caine, also narrating) and Dravot (Sean Connery) encounter five Afghan tribesmen, in their journey toward Kafiristan, in John Huston's The Man Who Would Be King, 1975.

MacKintosh Man, The (1973) -- (Movie Clip) Open, You See Before You A Villain A stately if simple opening from director John Huston, crossing the Thames to Parliament and finding James Mason as a Tory MP, Harry Andrews in the gallery, then star Paul Newman crossing Trafalgar Square, in The MacKintosh Man, 1973, also starring Dominique Sanda, from a novel by Desmond Bagley.

MacKintosh Man, The (1973) -- (Movie Clip) Diamonds In The Mail Paul Newman has just entered an office off Trafalgar Square where exposition begins, as we learn he’s Rearden, who might be some sort of agent, greeted by Dominique Sanda as in-the-know office help Mrs. Smith and Harry Andrews as the title character, with oblique chat about crime, early in John Huston’s The MacKintosh Man, 1973.

MacKintosh Man, The (1973) -- (Movie Clip) Anything In There For Me? Set up by earlier conversation, though we don’t exactly know his status or motivation, Paul Newman as agent Rearden, posing as an Aussie, with support from Dominique Sanda as “Mrs. Smith,” mugs a London postman (Eric Mason) for a package of diamonds, early in John Huston’s spy thriller The MacKintosh Man, 1973.

Life And Times Of Judge Roy Bean (1972) -- (Movie Clip) Fate Of The Wicked The full performance of Tab Hunter as unrepentant murderous drifter Dodd, addressing the camera in the same manner as other famous-actor-cameo characters, processed quickly by Paul Newman as the title character, bogus judge in 1890’s West Texas, Jim Burk, Matt Clark, Bill McKinney, Ned Beatty and Steve Kanaly the new deputies, in John Huston’s The Life And Times Of Judge Roy Bean, 1972.

Life And Times Of Judge Roy Bean, The (1972) -- (Movie Clip) I Ain't Through Killin' Ya! Outrageous Western comic slaughter from writer John Milius and director John Huston, Victoria Principal as Maria Elena brings a gun to Roy (Paul Newman), who takes revenge on the low-lifes who robbed and nearly hanged him on arrival, in The Life And Times Of Judge Roy Bean, 1972.

Life And Times Of Judge Roy Bean, The (1972) -- (Movie Clip) First Time I Saw Roy Bean Before it’s clear that much of the movie will consist of visits by top actors in character roles, Anthony Perkins is the first, as Reverend LaSalle, discovering Roy (Paul Newman) shortly after he’s killed all the Anglo residents of his nascent town, in The Life And Times Of Judge Roy Bean, 1972.

Butch Cassidy And The Sundance Kid (1973) -- (Movie Clip) How Good Are You? From director George Roy Hill’s rotogravure style opening, first scene for Robert Redford as one title character, joined by Paul Newman as the other, in a card game and challenged by another player (Paul Bryar), cleverness from writer William Goldman, in Butch Cassidy And The Sundance Kid, 1969.

Life And Times Of Judge Roy Bean, The (1972) -- (Movie Clip) The Original Bad Bob Maybe the most outrageous of the extended cameos in director John Huston’s comic Western, Ned Beatty narrates and Stacy Keach appears as Bad Bob, a former fellow of the title character (Paul Newman, not seen here) in earlier days, in The Life And Times Of Judge Roy Bean, 1972.

Life and Times of Judge Roy Bean, The - (Original Trailer) Paul Newman stars as the Law West of the Pecos in John Huston's The Life and Times of Judge Roy Bean (1972).
