Best Freemason Buddy Movie Ever! Possibly the only one too…

Shortly after being raised, I went to a High Twelve meeting where a brother recommended that I watch The Man Who Would Be King.  It’s excellent adventure movie staring Michael Cain, Sean Connery, and Christopher Plummer.  [Trailer below]

It’s based on the short story written by Brother Rudyard Kipling.  I picked up a copy at a used book store in Harrison AR, as part of a collection titled The Best of Kipling (Nelson Doubleday, 1968).  It also had a good collection of his poems.




I’m looking into having a movie night at the lodge sometime.  We have a beautiful, large lodge hall that was built in 1921.  The first floor has a dining area perfect for an event like this.  We even have a popcorn machine.  I own the movie, just need to find a projector and set a date.    Enjoy the preview; it’s an old school preview where the director actually told you about the movie.  (Instead of a series of incoherent scenes and a voice-over saying:  “In a world where blah blah blah…”)
