A delightful and memorable film.

Connery and Caine (both excellent) become classic Huston overreachers, and echoes of The Treasure of the Sierra Madre and Moby Dick permeate the mythic yarn.

...humor, romance, danger, pageantry, Freemasonry, and much derring-do...a good rousing adventure tale.

A too-broad comedy, mostly due to the poor performance of Michael Caine.

A decent but hardly great adventure escapist film, that's played for broad comedy.
