I came across a great movie the other day. The Man Who Would Be King (1975) starring Sean Connery, Michael Caine and Christopher Plummer. It’s a fascinating story of two former British soldiers who aspire to maneuver themselves into power and become “kings” in Kafiristan, where “no white man has set foot since Alexander.” This is a must-see movie for Masons. Masonic references abound and eventually take a central role in the movie.
Here’s a peek:
The movie even inspired me to start growing a beard like Sean Connery’s. I just wish I could grow it out more. Unfortunately, I have to shave before I go back to work tomorrow.
Why can’t I have a beard and be a cop too? Take a look at the old photos of police officers and deputies of the last 100 years and many of them had beards. I vote we turn back the clock a bit and make beards, mustaches or at least some big sideburns requisite for police work.
