	Alfie 1966 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Alfie is a British production starring Michael Caine as the title character, a selfish skirt-chaser who only begins to question his values at film's end.
		Alfie is an underrated film with an excellent script by Bill Naughton, who also wrote the play.
		Alfie has a medical examination that goes on for at least ten minutes, talking to the camera all the while.

		ALFIE is a surprisingly successful exercise in dramatic irony: the title character, a charming mediocrity who fancies himself a ladykiller, delivers a running commentary on his tawdry sexual conquests and penny-ante criminal ambitions, cheerfully oblivious to an audience that knows more about him than he will ever know himself.
		Screenwriter Bill Naughton had already employed this rather stagy strategy in a play and novel of the same title; that Alfie's extended asides work so well on screen is due to the disarming appearance of naivete with which Michael Caine is able to address the camera.
		Alfie uses women shamelessly and without malice; when they demand commitment or emotional engagement from him, he's perplexed.

		Alfie was a huge success, bringing a new frankness about changing sexual attitudes to the screen, in which respect it was almost the male companion to Julie Christie's then shocking, Oscar-winning performance in Darling (1965).
		Alternately talking up to the camera and talking down to his sexual conquests, Alfie maneuvers through the minefield of emotions by remaining aloof, until of course, he is left alone.
		It is this development that lends Alfie a dash of wisdom to go along with his easy manners and flashy grin.

	Borders - Store Inventory - Title Detail - Alfie (1966)
		Alfie (Caine) is a charming, rogueish Cockney who cannot get his fill of women.
		Of course, Alfie's not as carefree as he would have the audience -- to whom he often speaks directly -- think: he's treated his pregnant, common-law wife, Gilda (Julia Foster), quite shabbily, and an affair with a married woman (Vivien Merchant) that leaves her pregnant, for which Alfie arranges an abortion.
		Description: In Alfie, Michael Caine stars as the title character, a guiltless London lothario whose only pleasure in life seems to be a good shag -- he has a date with a different woman for each day of the week.

	DVD Savant Review: Alfie
		Alfie Elkins (Michael Caine) is a cockney Londoner with a high score as a ladies man. At any given moment he's living with one 'bird' while keeping a string going on the side.
		Alfie's hedonism doesn't have a lot of style because he himself is not very affluent.
		No matter how much he claims to be in charge, Alfie's no more in control of his life than the raggedy dog that shows up on the embankment for the beginning and end of the movie.

		Alfie secretly, wistfully, watches the three of them in the park, and you actually for once feel sorry for him because he knows Malcolm is his child but Malcolm will never be a part of his life.
		Alfie drops his defenses when he experiences the aftermath of his married girlfriends abortion.Caine is excellent at making you believe his limited and lonely perspective.
		Alfie goes back to visit his hospital roommate and winds up chatting up his wife and knocks her up (potent guy).

		Quotes: Alfie: My understanding of women only goes as far as the pleasure.
		The ending, for me is the key point in liking Caine's character, as without spoiling the film, the final scene, set against the Thames at night, is an outstanding piece of writing and direction.
		Alfie is an excellent introduction to Michael Caine's work and, for all its flaws, it remains an outstanding film.

		Manchester quintet Alfie cavorts in the same pastoral yet somehow modern folk-pop playground as Badly Drawn Boy, the very same Boy who immediately signed the group to his Twisted Nerve label and sent them off on tour after hearing them the first time.
		Alfie doesn't aim to sweep you immediately off your feet, but after a few tracks, you'll sort of tumble into the music as you would a hammock on a sunny Sunday afternoon.
		In 2001, Alfie issued a fine collection of songs on Twisted Nerve/XL under the syntactically challenged title If You Happy With You Need Do Nothing (the band reportedly took the name from a dentist's note scrawled to singer Lee Gorton).

	BBC - Films - review - Alfie
		Such is Caine's ease in front of the lens that this inherently theatrical device works beautifully on-screen, especially when Alfie begins to query the value of his rootless, carefree existence.
		But Alfie's casual promiscuity is not without repercussions, and the most powerful sequence comes when he is forced to arrange an illegal abortion for one of his mistresses.
		Denholm Elliott's performance as a seedy, backstreet abortionist is easily the best thing in the film, which treads a fine line between glorifying Alfie's amorality and castigating him for his sexism.

		This didn't stop the film running for four whole years in London cinemas, but watching it now you wonder how hard up for titillation the British public were at the time (or the men of the British public, at any rate).
		Also pretty hard up are the cast, featuring such past their prime comic actors as Bass (dressed up to look like Oliver Hardy, for some reason) and Handl (seeming as though she couldn't care less about the script) all awkwardly reciting their lines and obviously forgetting them, too.

		After meeting the voluptuous Sarah (Sharon Tate), the daughter of the innkeeper (Alfie Bass), the young assistant is smitten, and, in true Polanski vision, becomes mildly obsessed and voyeuristic.
		They become entangled in a ghoulish plot involving a Jewish innkeeper (Bass), his comely young daugher (Tate (who would later be wedded to Polanski)), the Dracula-esque Count Von Krolock (Mayne), his eloquent son (Quarrier), and a ghastly ball at the Count's remote castle.
		Polanski drenches the film in a remarkably well maintained atmosphere that is an equal mixture of fairy tale and horror, similar to that of the classic Christmas short Santa Claus Is Comin' To Town.

		Although "Alfie" is very much a period piece, I saw it again recently and was tremendously surprised at how well it holds up, especially in the context of its time.
		Michael Caine's Alfie Elkins is the ultimate ladykiller, a sexual predator who approaches women and relationships the way a serial killer homes-in on a victim.
		Although he states from the start that the baby is not his problem, he shows more affection to the child than he does to all his women combined.

		Bass made his film debut in 1945's "Johnny Frenchman" and soon became a valuable fixture in often comical supporting roles, typically as feisty, working-class, often Cockney blokes.
		He was very fine as one of a group of soldiers keeping the news of imminent death from a hospitalized comrade in the touching "The Hasty Heart" (1949), but Bass is perhaps most fondly remembered as Shorty, a delightfully larcenous member of "The Lavender Hill Mob" (1951)....

		Alfie is a despicable, unscrupulous and vile sort of guy who uses woman after woman to fulfill his basic needs and then casts them aside until...tragedy strikes.
		Though this box office hit was seen as a sophisticated take on current sexual mores upon release, it now seems a dated but engaging comedy, notable chiefly for its performances.
		The title song "Alfie," sung by Dionne Warwick, was a top ten hit.

	The DVD Journal \| Quick Reviews: The Lavender Hill Mob
		Directed by Charles Crichton, 1951's The Lavender Hill Mob is one of the crowning glories of London's Ealing Studios, perfectly capturing the delicious wit and pacing that made British comedies from the era so enormously appealing.
		The shape-shifting Alec Guinness — who built a career not just on acting, but on his uncanny ability to transform himself into different people altogether — holds the film's center as Holland, a bespectacled, bug-eyed man of manic energy who is obsessed with his early retirement by illegal means.
		Playing against Guinness is Stanley Holloway as Pendlebury, a fellow more grounded in temperament, while Sid James and Alfie Bass provide comic relief as the two cockney crooks who fall in with the gentleman robbers.

		Another one of my favorite sequences is when the Count and his son are preparing to retire to their ornate coffins prior to the sun rising, aided by their hunchbacked manservant Koukol.
		After they get settled in (and boxed up), here comes Shagal (Bass), the once innkeeper now vampire, dragging his meager pine box into the crypts with the intent of also settling in for the day.
		Koukol, seeing this as an affront to his masters, proceeds to unceremoniously drag the coffin, which Shagal is now sitting in, down to the stables, as that's a seemingly more appropriate setting from someone of his class, with Shagal weakly protesting the entire way.

		For "Lust", by Marty Feldman and Graham Stark, Harry H. Corbett is a lonely man looking for love (but not really lust, to be honest), and Corbett's downtrodden persona is well suited to the tale - a bit too well suited, as this one's more depressing than funny.
