A pretty good interview with Michael Caine:
http://www.avclub.com/articles/michael-caine,40644/. Hope Caine has more than a few pictures left in him--I'll miss him when he's gone. He's done a lot of stuff which he gets a lot of mention but probably my favorite is his turn as Peachie in "The Man Who Would Be King," a role Caine was born to play and which Kipling would have heartily approved had he been around to see it. Caine is also the rare acting talent who isn't completely full of shit and has a sense of humor about himself. Too bad there are only so few of them.

I also really liked Caine as Peachy and Connery as Daniel. According to Wikipedia, these were Huston's fourth choice for the parts. First: Bogart and Gable. Second: Lancaster and Douglas. Third: Redford and Newman.
I could maybe see one of the others doing well as Daniel. But, I can't think of any part more naturally suited to an actor than Peachy to Caine.
