mething that was a little more successful at seeming hip in more or less the same era is 1966's biting British comedy Alfie, though I guess one should point out that the switch from 1966 to 1967 is one of those points in history where almost everything ...read the complete Alfie movie review at Teleport City Cinematics

I have not seen the Jude Law vehicle that brought this film to my attention. I never really had any desire to. I like Law, but the remake looked rather stale (and the reviews didn't help) so I stayed away. HOWEVER, I didn't even know that this film ...

This movie has special meaning in my life....in 1967 after my BOYFRIEND and I saw this movie he ASKED ME TO MARRY HIM....AND I SAID I WOULD CONSIDER IT....Our story became a lifelong committment on June 8, 1968 when we were married....When I watch this ...

What's it all about? For who, is the question. Caine plays the architypical tomcat who takes the yearning for sexual conquest and utter freedom from commitment to it's farthest yet most logical conclusion in this very entertaining drama/comedy that has ...

Alfie . . .
Truly a 60's classic. I first saw it as a young teenager and have seen it many times over. A real keeper.
The movie was done in a cool way where Alfie speaks his thoughts out loud to us into the camera. . . ...

My wife brought the Michael Caine version home recently. I had never seen it, but had some notion of it as a comedy about a love 'em and leave 'em cad. Whoa, was I wrong. Comedy? Holy smokes!! This is a tragedy of the most classic type, a fatally flawed ...

This is the movie that caused Michael Caine to be shunned by filmmakers for quite a long time after it's release. He is SO good as Alfie, the penultimate seducer - and deserter - of women, that he became associated with the character to the extent that ...

Based on the play by screenwriter Bill Naughton, director Lewis Gilbert's "Alfie" is a black comedy of mores and manners about a naïve womanizer who wonders, as in the title song, "What's it all about?" Caine, in a star-making role, is sensational as the ...

It took me a number of years to finally catch up with "Alfie" and, boy, did I have a misconception about the film. I thought Alfie was a free-spirited dandy who loves and leaves the ladies. Little did I know that he's a self-loathing misogynist.It's a ...

"Alfie," released in 1966, is considered one of the most famous, influential movies of that decade. It's credited with being a classic study of the 60's, and introducing London to the world, just as it began to swing. Also with making a big star of its ...

In this engaging film,Michael Caine represents the blocked and emotion fearing english working class man.
His attititude towards women is hauntingly vacant.He uses them to fill the time with a no committment banter to the camera.
He fathers a ...
