In the film 'The Man Who Would Be King' Sean Connery and Michael Caine play two British squaddies in 19th century India, who journey up to Kafiristan. Does anybody know the military tune that they sing when they're up in the Hymalayas waiting to die?
Cheers
The song was "The Minstrel Boy"
Thanks Scarboro.

Great film!
Too right it is. The orig. story by Kipling is very short, about 7 pages, but I think John Huston did a sterling job making into a full blown movie. Apparently he had Bogart and Gable in mind for the leads, which would have been strange unless they'd adopted Brit accents.
