Sad commentary on pre-feminist times Having loved the music from this film for many years, I decided to watch it. I thought it would be an amusing film, but it was tragic. Seeing how the women suffered with unwanted pregnancies was heartbreaking. The women in the film, with the exception of the Shelley Winters character (who had other problems), allowed Alfie and other men to treat them like dirt. If a male driver picked up a hitchhiker, he could assume she was "his." Alfie ordered these woman around and they cowered under his orders. Access to birth control and legal abortion has prevented many woman from the tragic fate of women in this film. This film is a "should watch" for anyone who takes for granted that women today have choices that allow them to have the life they choose. We may have to continue fighting for these rights, unfortunately. | ||
Michael Caine review This paperback did give some basic information that any mature adult should already know. Show up on time, be humble, know your lines, be sociable with others you're working with...I already knew all this though working in the corporate world. | ||
Life between "Action" and "Cut" A great book. Michael Caine is one of the best in the business, and part of the fun crowd. This book gives wonderful insight into the world of acting in film, behavior on/off the set, "the take," and more. | ||
listen to what the man says... acting is acting and if you can act onstage, you can act on-camera, probaly true but still before you make your move to the silver screen, read this book...Michael Cain reveals insider secrets, tips and straight forward talk about acting from a grand master..what a gem of a book for anyone interested in film... | ||
Nothing but net... This book is short and sweet, right to the point and actually pretty fun to read. Michael Caine knows what he's doing (ridiculously obvious comment of the day) and he gives a lot of great tips to actors and filmmakers alive. I am a director and I've read dozens of books on directing and there are things in this slim volume that I have never seen anywhere else. | ||
