Really good old movie about Afghanistan

"The Man Who Would be King", made God knows how long ago, (late 60s?). It's based on a Kipling story, stars Sean Connery and Michael Caine.

Kipling wrote about "The Great Game", the struggle for influence between Great Britain and Russia in that part of the world. "The Man Who Would be King" has a story apart from the Great Game, but it is the theme for "Kim", also (if I very dimly recall correctly) a good movie. I think I saw that in my youth, but I recall some evil Russians in it.
